Films

Films in Cordonia are the second-most restricted media after video games. According to the Cordonia Ministry of Youth, the goal of the film content rating system in Cordonia is to protect children and adolescents from viewing content that is not appropriate for their age–and is not intended to censor media consumption by minors–but delay it until they reach maturity. Film ratings depend on several factors, including language, violence, substance abuse, nudity and sex. Some profanity is allowed at the PG level (e.g. "damn", "shit") but more profane words (e.g. "motherfucker", "cunt") are restricted to the 14+ level. Profanity used in a historical context (e.g. a documentary) that usually is restricted to 14+ is allowed at the PG level. Light violence that is short in duration is allowed at the PG level; violence is allowed at the 14+ level but realistic, extreme (e.g. body horror) or persistent is restricted to 18+. Notably the Saw franchise was rated 18+ and was not allowed for 14+ despite several appeals. Brief nudity is allowed in PG films, sex scenes are banned in G and PG films. Sex scenes that do not show genitals are allowed for 14+ films but sex scenes that show genitalia must be 18+ no exceptions. Any films that depict extreme (e.g. scat fetishes) and persistent (e.g. BDSM) sex are restricted as 18X and cannot be shown at regular theaters. They must be shown at a licensed venue that does not allow anyone under 18 from entering or loitering on the property.
