Guidelines for Film Certification

Guidelines for film certification are set standards used by authorities to evaluate movies for appropriate content based on age, themes, and language. They aim to protect viewers, especially children, from unsuitable material while allowing freedom of expression for filmmakers. These guidelines consider factors like violence, nudity, language, and moral values to determine the appropriate audience. Films are then assigned a certification category (such as general, parental guidance, or restricted) to help viewers, parents, and theaters make informed viewing choices. The process ensures films are appropriate for their intended audience without compromising artistic expression.
