"15"

"suitable only for 15 years and over."


Discrimination
Work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory language or behavior.

Drugs
Drug taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not promote or encourage drug misuse. Misuse of easily accessible drugs and highly dangerous substances (aerosols or solvents) is unlikely to be acceptable.

Horror
Strong threat and menace permitted unless sadistic or sexualized.

Imitable Behavior
Dangerous behavior (hanging, suicide and self-harming) should not dwell on detail which could be copied. Easily accessible weapons should not be glamorized.

Language
May be frequent use of strong language. Strongest terms may be acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.

Nudity
Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. No constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.

Sex
Sexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail. May be strong verbal references to sexual behavior, but strongest references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context. Works whose primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable.

Theme
No theme is prohibited provided the treatment is suitable for 15 year olds.

Violence
May be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. Strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic or sexualized violence is also unlikely to be acceptable. May be detailed verbal references to sexual violence but any portrayal of sexual violence must be discreet and have a strong contextual justification.
