18 – Suitable only for adults
No one younger than 18 may see an 18 film in a cinema. No one younger than 18 may rent or buy an 18 rated video work. Adults should be free to choose their own entertainment.
Exceptions are most likely in the following areas:
• Where the material is in breach of the criminal law, or has been created through the commission of a criminal offence
• Where material or treatment appears to us to risk harm to individuals or, through their behaviour, to society. For example, the detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use, which may cause harm to public health or morals. This may include portrayals of sadistic or sexual violence which make this violence look appealing; reinforce the suggestion that victims enjoy sexual violence; or which invite viewer complicity in sexual violence or other harmful violent activities
• Where there are more explicit images of sexual activity in the context of a sex work (see below) or where the primary purpose of the images in question is sexual arousal In the case of video works, which may be more accessible to younger viewers, intervention may be more frequent than for cinema films.
How will this relate to our film?
Our film will be an 18 due to it involving the criminal law being breached and drug use will be involved. This will not be included in the trailer due to underage viewers are able to watch this and it wouldn't be suitable for their age group. Our target audience is aimed at 18+.
