Titles

  • If the title of the work incites hatred on grounds of:
Race
Religion
Sexual Orientation
Criminal Behaviour
Encourages interest in abusive or illegal sexual activies

Changes will be required as a condition of classification
  • If the title of the film will cause offence to a significant number of people if displayed in a public place, the distributor will be advised to consider carefully te places in which it is appropriate- (not on R18 films)
  • Extreme cases- it cant be displayed or changes to the title may have to be made which is a condition of the classfication.
  • Must take into acount pattern sensitivity, motion sickness and reaction to low frequency sound ( viewers sensitive to flashing and flickering light etc)
  • Responsibility of film makers and distributors to identify works in which such issues may arise and warnings are put in place
  • Normally therefore BBFC don't have to take it into account when making a classification decision- only in extreme cases when during the viewing it is likely to affect a significant number of viewers
