Since 1913 the Government of Alberta has been rating films before they are shown in theatres throughout the Province.

We provide Alberta moviegoers with information about the suitability of all kinds of film content on a continuum of categories related to age

Movies contain many elements that may be of concern to audiences, such as coarse language, sexual references and portrayals, violence, and controversial subject matter.

The frequency, visual explicitness, intensity, and context of these elements are considered when a film is rated for public exhibition.
