Charlie Productions : Get A BBFC Certificate

For this to happen...

You need to contact the BBFC on +44 (0) 20 7440 1570 and book a viewing).
One day before the screening the BBFC (3 Soho Square, London) require from you:
- A finished 35mm married print of your film.
- The correct paper work - a form with a brief description of the contents and the rating you are after (but this doesn't take more than a couple of minutes and is quite easy to do in person as you hand in the print. If you are able to hand in the print in person of course, if you are using a courier you will need to get a copy of this form in advance). In England there are five different ratings - U (universal) PG (parental guidence) and 12, 15 and 18 (the minimum age of the legal viewer).
- Money cleared in their account by the time they come to watch it. The BBFC chage £10.20 sterling (plus Value Added Tax of 17.5%) per minute with the duration calcuated on the total running length of the film including all credits and headers/footers.
It then takes about 72 hours for them to watch the film and prepare the black board which you will then have to get put onto 35mm and stuck onto the front of your film. Until this black board is on the front of your film it cannot be screened. Although we have seen people stick it up in the box office of the cinema...

Russell Square is PG.

Russell Square - "some mild horror"
