:
Approval of the film for general admittance, but not recommended for children under
the age of 7
Children in this age group begin to be able to distance themselves from films and
are therefore not as easily frightened by special effects and loud noises.
7
:
Tilladt for alle, men frarådes børn under 7 år
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
Films under this classification may as a principal rule only contain few elements,
which could frighten the youngest children. Frightening elements could for instance
be scenes where children or animals are molested or deserted. Children of 7 or 8 might
find such elements frightening because they have difficulties watching a film as one
story. Violent scenes will often be experienced as a finished sequence and if a child
is already frightened he or she will not notice that the story might have a happy
ending. In spite of violent scenes a film could receive the classification of 7 depending
on the context of the violence used. For instance violence used in humorous unrealistic
contexts may cushion the frightening and harmful effects as it creates a distance
to reality.

11
:
Approval of the film for admittance of children from the age of 11
Films containing frightening scenes or a touch of horror but without real violent
scenes or films, which do not describe violence in detail, will often be placed in
this category.
11
:
Tilladt for børn over 11 år
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
Children of 11 to 14 are in general good at distinguishing between fiction and reality
and are thus able to distinguish between films with imitated, exaggerated or unrealistic
scenes of violence and their own reality and life. Furthermore, they are able to deal
with sustained suspense. Films such as science fiction, action comedy and catastrophe
often receive this classification.

:
Approval of the film for admittance of children from the age of 15
Young people and adults aged over 15 are expected to possess an understanding of genre
and to be able to deal with frightening films.
15
:
Tilladt for børn over 15 år
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
Films containing a lot of violence or violence described in detail or violence, which
is glorified or legitimated are placed in this category along with other strong films
such as pornography. Whether a film is placed in the category of 15 or 11 depends
on how realistically the violent scenes are described. If the violent scenes are taking
place in a make-believe world the film might be placed in the category of 11 years
instead of 15
