All Ages
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
Filmer som er tillatt for alle skal ha et rolig, lett og hyggelig uttrykk. Det kan være kortvarige "bø-effekter" eller litt
spennende elementer i en trygg ramme.
Films and programmes
classified as All ages
must use audio and
effects moderately
and cannot contain
any alarming or dramatic portrayals.
Some moderately scary elements
are permitted if they are very
brief and take place within a safe
framework that is facilitated for
children under the age of six.
(see text box under section 2.2
«The good scare»). This relates to
films such as Bamse og tyvenes
by (Bamse and the City of Thieves)
(2014) and the animated series Det
lille spøkelse Laban (Laban The
Little Ghost). The same applies to
portrayals with modestly dramatic
effects if they are brief and take
place within a clearly humorous
framework, such as in early silent
films and in the cartoons about
Tom and Jerry or the animated film
Despicable Me 2 (2012). More recent
examples include the animated films
Elias og Storegaps hemmelighet
(2017) with short dark scenes, as
well as Ferdinand (2017) which has
several dramatic parts that are short
and humorous.
Many factual, reality and
documentary programmes can be
permitted for all ages if they have
a mild/cautious expression, or do
not have disturbing themes or
portrayals. This applies for example
to the documentary series Datoen
(NRK), talkshows such as Skavlan
og Lindmo (NRK) and reality shows
such as Gift ved første blikk,
Mesternes mester, Farmen og
71 grader nord.
Examples of other films and
programmes within the “all ages”
category include the Karsten og
Petra films (2012, 2013 and 2014)
children’s programmes such as
Postmann Pat and Fireman Sam,
and family programmes such as
Beat for beat, Idol, and Skal vi
danse? Many comedies, “sitcoms”,
films and different programme
series intended for young adults
and/or adults will normally also
be given the “all ages” limit. This
applies to most episodes in series
such as Modern Family, The Big
Bang Theory, and the TV series
Side om Side

Age 6
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
En film med 6-årsgrense kan inneholde enkelte mørke, dramatiske eller noe truende scener. Den kan også inneholde korte innslag
med kraftige lyd og bildeeffekter.
Films and
programmes
classified as Age
6 may contain
individual scenes
or portrayals that are moderately
dark or threatening. The same
applies if there are scenes with
dramatic sounds and/or heavy
use of effects. Brief, scary
elements are permitted within the
framework of “good scares” (see
text box under section 2.2) and
violent portrayals are permitted
if they are clearly humorous and
over-the-top (“slapstick”), such as
the Home Alone films.
Themes that generally seem
difficult and painful can be
permitted with an Age 6 limit
if they have a toned down
expression and are adapted
for children.
This applies to animated films
such as Løvetannbarn (2017 – 6
years) which is about a little boy
who loses his mother and is sent
to an orphanage.
Examples of other films and
programmes classified as Age
6 are animated films and series
with moderately dramatic effects
such as the Lego movies. More
realistic films and programmes
with brief dramatic or threatening
portrayals can also be classified
Age 6. Examples of this include the
competition programme Labyrint
(NRK Super), America’s Funniest
Home Videos and soap operas
such as Home and Away.

7
(
NO
)
Ei 7-årsgrense på film blir gjeven fordi vi meiner filmen kan verka skremmande for dei aller minste.
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
7-årsfilmar kan t.d. ha lange mørke sekvensar. Det kan vera ein dramatisk lyd- og effektbruk eller vi kan sjå at hovudpersonane
blir utsette for psykisk eller fysisk fare. Eit døme på ein slik film er "Shrek", der dragen først er skummel for dei minste
(2001: vurdert eigna for familie). Andre faktorar som speler inn når vi set ein film opp til 7 år, kan vera kjensleutbrot
som kan verka uforståelege for dei aller minste. Vi legg også vekt på den gjennomgåande stemninga i filmen. At ein film får
7 eller 11 år treng ikkje utan vidare tyda at det er ein film som er spesielt eigna for desse aldersgruppene.

Age 9
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
En film med 9-årsgrense kan ha partier med mørk, intens eller utrygg stemning. Dette kan for eksempel være noe dramatiske
bilder av ulykker eller barn som har det vanskelig (inkludert mobbing). Kortvarige og lite nærgående voldsinnslag kan også
få 9-årsgrense.
Films and
programmes
classified as Age 9
may contain short but
not explicit violence
or war images such as in the movies
Pitch Perfect 3 (2017 – violence in a
humorous setting) and Darkest Hour
(2017 – some war images), longer
scenes with intense or dramatic
moods such as in the animated
television series The Amazing
Spiderman, or have individual
scenes with a dark and unsafe
mood combined with depictions
of moderately scary figures and/
or dangerous situations such as
the fantasy series M.I. High; the
three first Harry Potter movies (The
Philosopher’s Stone, The Chamber
of Secrets and The Prisoner of
Azkaban), Jumanji: Welcome to the
jungle (2016) and the ”scary movie”
Goosebumps (2015).
Actual incidents or depictions
of accidents, operations or
non-dramatic deaths may be
unsettling to children under the
age of nine. The same applies
to depictions of unsafe family
relations, bullying situations and
humans and animals that are
suffering. Programmes with such
themes shall generally be given
an Age 9 limit or higher. Examples
include the docudrama series
Bondi Rescue and Oslo Brenner
which contain dramatic portrayals
of accidents, fires, etc.
For Fortnite videos showing
fighting scenes, 9 years would the
right age limit.

11 år
(
NO
)
11-årsgrensa er ei ungdomsgrense.
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
I ein 11-årsfilm kan vi godta valdshandlingar i bestemte samanhengar. Det viktige er at valdshandlinga er sett inn i ein forståeleg
samanheng. Vidare kan 11-årsfilmar innehalda valdshandlingar som går inn i ein urealistisk samanheng, slik som slap-stick,
fantastiske innslag og andre overdrivingar. Valdshandlingar kan også aksepterast dersom dei er element i filmar som er baserte
på velkjende historier, bøker, teikneseriar eller der handlinga har ein klår avstand i tid og rom. Distributøren klipte ned
ei sterk valdsscene i "The Mask of Zorro" (1998) for å oppnå 11-årsgrense. Tema som kan vera problematiske for 11-åringar
er: dommedagsproblematikk, katastrofar, overgrep av ulik art, eller ei gjennomgripande truande og dyster stemning. Problemstillingar
som høyrer til i vaksenverda kan vera med på å heva aldersgrensa opp til 15 år. Drap og mishandlingar, som finst i mange filmar,
høyrer tradisjonelt heime i 15-årsfilmen.

Age 12
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
I filmer med 12-årsgrense kan det være gjennomgående mørk stemning - og mye frykt både i karakterer, scener og musikk. Det
kan også forekomme kortvarige skrekkeffekter og lite nærgående skildringer av seksualitet.
Films classified as
Age 12 may contain
some unsettling
themes related to
the “adult realm”,
such as depictions or portrayals
of relationship conflicts, sexual
acts or strong emotional outbursts.
Examples of such themes
may occur in factual or reality
programmes such as certain
episodes of Trekant or Paradise
Hotel.
Other themes that may be
difficult for children to handle
(see examples mentioned in fact
box in Chapter 2.3) should be
classified as Age 12 or higher if the
theme in and of itself, regardless
of how it is presented, can be
alarming to children or young
people. This applies for example
to a theme such as kidnapping/
child abduction in a documentary
series such as De bortførte barna.
The same applies if the portrayals
in the programme are not explicitly
depicted and the mood is not
sombre throughout.
Examples of this include the
documentary series Stemmene
i hodet (NRK) which is about
psychological distress and a
movie like Røverdatter (2018)
which contains authentic close-up
depictions of drug abuse and an
unstable grown-up character.
Violent acts or brief depictions with
“scary elements” in an unrealistic
context is normally acceptable
in films and programmes for
young people from age 12. This
particularly applies if the content
is based on well-known stories,
books, cartoons or similar, or
where the plot in another way
revolves around a clear fantasy
universe or within a comical
framework. Examples include films
such as The Hobbit – The Battle of
the Five Armies (2014), Star Wars:
The Last Jedi (2017), the five last
films in the Harry Potter universe
(The Goblet of Fire, The Order of
the Phoenix, The Half Blood Prince
and the Deathly Hallows part 1 and
2) and Game Night (2018).
More realistic depictions of
violence or frightening elements
can also be permitted if they are
brief and portrayed in a calm
manner, such as in series about
supernatural phenomenon in
Åndenes makt and crime shows
such as Law and Order: Special
Victims Unit and Castle.
Films and programmes must also
be classified as Age 12 if they
contain non-explicit sexual acts
(Call me by your name, 2017) or
sexual descriptions within the
premises of children and young
people (Få meg på, for faen, 2011).
The same applies if the programme
has a constant crude dialogue that
could be disturbing or offensive to
children under this age. Examples
of this include the US comedies
Ted 1 and 2 (2012 and 2015) and
Sausage Party (2016).
For video games that contain battle
scenes with graphic images of
blood, for example Gameplay from
Player’s Unknown Battlegrounds
(PUBG) a 12-year age limit will often
be fitting.

Age 15
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
En film med 15-årsgrense kan ha angstskapende stemning, og inneholde realistiske innslag av katastrofer, krig, omsorgssvikt
eller overgrep. Skrekkfilmer, filmer med drap eller detaljerte seksuelle skildringer får normalt 15-årsgrense.
Films and
programmes
classified as Age 15
may contain realistic,
authentic or intense
depictions or scenes of war,
catastrophes, or terrorism acts.
Examples include the documentary
film Cries from Syria (2017) which
contains authentic and detailed
descriptions of war crimes, torture
and victims, and the film Utøya 22.
juli which is close to reality and
provokes feelings of anxiety and
panic.
Depictions of serious neglect and
abuse will also qualify for a 15 year
age limit. The same applies to films
and programmes with close sexual
portrayals (such as Pornopung
from 2013), as well as depictions of
abuse and murder.
Films and series with extensive
action violence or explicit, cynical
and/or detailed violence shall be
classified as Age 15. This applies
for example to several episodes of
Game of Thrones, crime shows
such as Homeland and Broen and a
movie like American Assassin (2017).
Other examples are films and series
with an unsettling mood and horror
effects such as certain episodes of
The Walking Dead and the Annabelle
movies.
Other content that usually comes
under the Age 15 category, is
films and programmes that have a
consistent sexualised expression
and/or contain acts that can appear
offensive and/or disturbing to
children and young people under
this age limit. This applies to the
Fifty Shades of Grey movies and
Kjøp meg (episode in season 1 of the
docuseries Innafor). In addition, this
applies to movies such as Spring
Breakers (2012) which is consistently
sexualised in its expression and
depicts the use of drugs and
violence in a glorified way.

Age 18
Reasons and Content Descriptors
Explanation
En film med 18-årsgrense kan ha særlig angstskapende stemning, og inneholde store mengder brutale og detaljerte voldshandlinger,
særlig i kombinasjon med et angstskapende uttrykk. Skildringer av grov seksualisert vold gir normalt også 18-årsgrense. Filmer
som Medietilsynet ikke har vurdert må vises med en 18-årsgrense på kino.
In some cases, films
and programmes
must be classified
with an Age 18 limit.
This mainly applies
to films with particularly violent
content and/or expression, and
that contain a lot of gross, cynical
and/or detailed violent acts, often
in a combination with an unsettling
expression. Individual depictions
of more untraditional forms of
sex, depictions of a combination
of violence and non-consensual
sex will normally also qualify for
an Age 18 limit. The same applies
to films that contain extensive,
explicit sexual portrayals (so-called
“hardcore porn”, see Appendix 2).
Examples of films with an Age
18 limit include the horror movie
The Belko Experiment (2017) and
the gangster movie The Villainess
(2017), which both contain large
amounts of brutal, cynical and
bloody violence and/or murder
scenes. Other examples include
the thriller The Neon Demon (2016)
which has pervasive anxious mood
and depicts an extreme sexual act,
and Raw (2017) which has a very
disturbing theme and contains
several detailed depictions related
to cannibalism.
