British Board of Film Censors

The British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) is an organization responsible for reviewing and classifying films in the UK. Its role is to assess movies for content such as violence, language, and themes, and assign age ratings to inform viewers and parents. The BBFC ensures films are suitable for different audiences while balancing artistic expression with social responsibility. It does not ban films but can require cuts or edits for a higher age rating. Established in 1912, the BBFC works independently to promote appropriate viewing standards within the UK’s film industry.
