British Board of Film Classification

The British Board of Film Classification gives age ratings to films in Britain since 1912 I researched the organisation for my report. Britain has the following age ratings UM PG, 12/12A, 15 and 18. The organisation can and has banned films.

The American version is titled the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Japanese is titled Eiga rinri linkai (Eirin).
Cleveland College of Art and Design Libary research

I looked at the following books Japanese Film, Film and Video Censorship in Modern Britain, THE HIDDEN CINEMA, Movies of the Thirties, History of the American Cinema GRAND DESIGN, Censored, Flesh and Blood and the Censorship Debate.

Film and Video Censorship in Modern Britain was the most helpful providing examples of imitable such as the Bulger and Capper murders in 1993, Information on the Hays code such as what films it affected and film banning.
