15

15 - Suitable only for 15 years and older

Discrimination

• The work as a whole must not endorse discriminatory behaviour

Drugs

• Drud taking may be shown but the film as a whole must not encourage drug use. The misuse of easily accessible substances eg aerosols is unlikely to be acceptable

Horror

• Must not be sadistic or sexualised

Imitable behaviour

• Should not dwell on detail and easily accessible weapons should not be glamorised

Language

• Strong language is allowed, but the strongest language must be justified by context

Nudity

• Nudity in a sexual context must not have strong detail

Sex

• May be portrayed without strong detail. Strong references are allowed, but the strongest language must be justified by context. Whose whose primary purpose is for sexual gratification are unlikely to be allowed

Theme

• Treatment must be appropriate for 15 year olds

Violence

• May be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images, and sadistic or sexualised violence are unlikely to be allowed. Portrayal of sexual violence must have strong contextual justification
