Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

You do not need to follow the rules in section 6 when you privately screen a film for commercial purposes. This is if you are the maker, owner, or distributor of the film, or an authorised agent of these people. You can screen the film to people in the film industry or related industries, as long as you do it in the normal way before applying for a label for the film.
