What is EXTENDED CLASSIFICATION INFORMATION?Extended Classification Information (ECI) is a short but detailed description of the issues found in a film, video or DVD work. It is an expanded version of the single line Consumer Advice that goes out with every film classified by the BBFC. Do all films, DVDs and Videos Games have ECI?All films given ‘U’, ‘PG’ and ‘12A’ at the cinema since January 1st 2007 are automatically given ECI. Several other titles that might be of interest to parents are also available on this site and more are added all the time. Where can I find ECI?ECI is displayed on this website. Search for the film, DVD or video game you want to read about or browse our database of titles. Information about all feature films classified by the BBFC (including ‘15’ and ‘18’ rated features) is also available through the BBFC’s main website. Who is it for?Parents BBFC ECI is designed for adults who want to get a more detailed idea of what issues (such as sex, violence, drugs, bad language, discrimination) they are likely to find within a film or video before they take a child to see it. How does it work?ECI explains the Consumer Advice and gives examples of the sorts of things you will see or hear in a film such as violence, bad language, sexual references etc. Will reading the ECI ruin the film?If possible, it will avoid giving away major plot points unless they are classification issues. What if there is no ECI for a film listed on this site?ECI should be available for all films classified ‘U’, ‘PG’ or ‘12A’ at the cinema or ‘U’, ‘PG’ or ‘12’ on video/DVD since the start of 2007. ECI is also available for many other titles. |
