Who are the classifiers and what are their qualifications?
Alberta Film Classification is a section of the Arts Branch of the Ministry of Culture and Community Services. It is made up of a board of professional full-time film classifiers whose job it is to see every movie that is shown in public for an admission fee. Film classifiers are hired on the basis of their knowledge of film and the history of film classification issues, their ability to represent the attitudes of the Alberta public, their communication skills, and their interest in child development and media awareness strategies. Current film classifiers include men and women of various ages and backgrounds.
