Preliminary Classification of filmic content
Before officially applying for an FSK age rating for your content (e.g., feature film, series, trailer, short film, or clip), you can consult our youth protection experts for a preliminary classification regarding its relevance to youth protection and the likely age rating. This allows early evaluation of whether your goals or licensing agreements can likely be met, or whether adjustments to the content should be considered. This service is available not only for final products but also during pre- or post-production stages (e.g., script, storyboard, rough cut). It’s proven valuable for distribution planning and is widely used by companies.
Our experts classify the content based on FSK principles and classification practices, offering a classification by the FSK classification tool and the decision-making practice of FSK committees. Consulting is available by phone or, upon request, in the form of a brief written report within eight business days.
Prices start at €150 for trailers, short films, or clips, and depending on runtime, from €200 for series episodes and €600 for feature films.
Training & Workshops
Our youth protection experts offer workshops, training sessions, or team events that provide in-depth insights into the FSK’s practices, assessment procedures, and legal requirements. Practical solutions for both online and offline content are presented in a clear and interactive way.
We are happy to create a custom training program tailored to your needs.
