About this Event
IFCO will open its doors once again this Culture Night, inviting the public into our office to learn about the world of film classification.
Participants are invited to view and classify a short film with an official Film Classifier at the small cinema onsite.
A great deal of consideration goes into each classification decision made by the Office, and IFCO is delighted to have the opportunity to share this process.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the audience about the guidelines that underpin all these decisions. We will look at how we come to a decision, and why a particular age rating would be applied.
IFCO is excited to share an insight into our work with the public for Culture Night.
Audience input is always welcome - and of course, there will be popcorn!

About IFCO:
Oifig Aicmithe Scannán na hÉireann The Irish Film Classification Office (IFCO) is a statutory body established under the aegis of the Department of Justice. It is responsible for examining and certifying all cinema films and DVDs distributed in Ireland that are not otherwise exempt from classification. IFCO also licences retail and wholesale outlets that sell DVDs. Established on a statutory basis pursuant to the Censorship of Films Act 1923, the role of the Office has been expanded by the various censorship of films acts and the Video Recordings Act, 1989. Its name was changed from Film Censor's Office to The Irish Film Classification Office in 2008 to reflect its changing role - from censorship to providing age classifications and advice. The IFCO’s decisions are legally binding, and all powers of prohibition remain. The decisions of IFCO are independent and can be appealed to the Classification of Films Appeal Board.
