The British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) is an organization responsible for classifying films and videos in the United Kingdom. Established in 1912, its primary role is to ensure that content is appropriate for different age groups by assigning age ratings, such as U, PG, 12A, 15, and 18. This helps viewers make informed choices about what to watch. The BBFC also reviews films for potential issues like violence, sexual content, and language. Its decisions can influence public perception and distribution of films, making it a significant entity in the British film industry. The board works to balance artistic expression with community standards.
