FSK ratings for films and series - protection of minors explained simply

Everyone knows them, but most people don't know exactly how they are determined: the age ratings for film content issued by the Voluntary Self-Regulation Body of the German Film Industry (FSK). How are they determined and on what basis? What role do age ratings play for children, young people and parents? The virtual parents' evening explores these and other questions. The focus will be on the work of the FSK, which issues the statutory age ratings on behalf of the highest state youth authorities for films, series and trailers released in Germany in cinemas, by streaming providers or on DVD or Blu-ray, among other things. 

As part of the virtual parents' evening, the FSK's test procedures and the criteria that lead to the known age ratings of 0, 6, 12, 16 and 18 years are presented. Following on from this, there will be insights into the media literacy and participation projects with children and young people as well as the information and guidance offered by the FSK.
