The classification of cinematic films began in Hollywood and is a precise guide for watching films. Film ratings differ across countries, and each country, based on cultural structures, religious values, and societal capacity, applies particular sensitivities to them.
Valuation of these cultural indicators distinguishes countries from one another. In some countries, ratings and attention to age classification are optional, and in some countries these classifications, for some films, go as far as prohibition.
In Iran, since the arrival of online streaming platforms and home video, attention to age ratings has become more serious, but it still has a ceremonial and optional character. Age ratings in Iranian cinema have also not yet created conditions that prevent certain age groups from entering movie theaters. It remains to be seen how the future of age ratings in Iran will take shape.
