Certificate of film

Age-15

What does the 15 symbol mean?

What might I see in a 15 rated film or video?

• Strong violence
• Frequent strong language
• Sexual nudity
• Brief scenes of sexual violence
• Drug taking
• Discriminatory language or behaviour

What about horror works?

-At 15 there can be strong threat and horror as long as there is no sustained focus on sadistic or sexualised threat.

Can there be strong violence?

-Yes, at 15 violence may be strong. It should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury, however, and the strongest gory images are unlikely to be acceptable.

-Strong sadistic violence is also unlikely to be acceptable.
