Consuelo Allen Film Classification Films are classified and censored to reflect the level of tolerance indicated by the community standards of the Ontario public. In Ontario there are four designations within the classification system: CARBONE-LORRAINE CORPORATION Theatre Products *Exclusive Century Projector agents in Canada *Xetron products *Most popular brands of major equipment LORRAINE CARBONS “Family’ — Films suitable for all. “Parental Guidance” — Parents are advised that theme or content may be more mature than “family” films. However, children are permitted unsupervised access and the decision of film suitability lies entirely with the parents. Films in this category may contain limited violence, such as hand-to-hand fighting, the use of weapons without excessive bloodletting, retrained portrayal of accident or disaster. They may also contain scenes involving very brief or casual nudity, romantic involvement which is not sexually explicit Mild use of coarse or vulgar language. “Adult Accompaniment” — Restricted to 14 and over unless accompanied by an adult. (Suitable for 14 and over.) Theme or content may be more mature and in the opinion of the Board not suitable for most children 13 and under. Films in this category may contain limited nudity and sexual involvement. There may also be sexual innuendo, suggestive or vulgar dialogue, coarse allusion and offensive language. There may be a higher degree of violence including bloodletting. Violence and nudity will not be gratuitous but should be integral to the plot “Restricted” — Admittance limited to those of 18 years and over. Films may become restricted if they contain scenes of heavy violence, torture, or abuse, extremely graphic depiction of accident or horror, full nudity, sexual activity or undue use of offensive language. Films which promote controversial or antisocial lifestyles might also be restricted depending on format and force of presentation. Eliminations: Each film is judged on its own merits. However, very graphic or prolonged scenes of violence, torture, bloodletting; explicit portrayal of sex/ violence, e.g. rape, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation or children, explicit portrayal of sexual activity, undue or prolonged emphasis on genitalia and ill-treatment of animals would normally be considered to contravene community standards and are scenes for which eliminations would normally be requested. “Sound Service “Installations “Theatre Supplies “Rebuilding Shop “Theatre Planning “Theatre Automating 455 Milner Ave., Unit 9 Scarborough, Ontario M1B-2K4 (416) 293-4030 JOHN KILCULLEN Manager, Theatre Products 23
