Rejects

The Board will attempt to deal with films, videos or DVDs which are unacceptable at any category through intervention such as making cuts or requiring the addition of warning captions. If this is not possible or not acceptable to the distributor, works may be refused classification altogether. ‘Taboo’ themes are acceptable, but not if their treatment is likely to encourage harm to viewers or, through their behaviour, to society. The following are of particular concern:

  • graphic rape or torture
  • sadistic violence or terrorisation
  • illegal and glamorised drug use
  • material likely to incite racial hatred or violence
  • portrayals of children in a sexualised or abusive context
  • sex accompanied by non-consensual pain, injury or humiliation
  • material likely to be found obscene by the courts.
