About the Beacon Theatre

The Beacon Theatre was purchased in August of 2010 by the Lakes District Film Appreciation Society and reopened as Canada’s second community-owned cinema. The theatre still had a 1950’s era projector and 35mm system, which meant obtaining films for the theatre would be difficult and expensive, and they wouldn’t reach Burns Lake until long after the films had their first run in major centres. Digital projection and sound equipment were installed to bring the theatre up to date and now first-run films, 3D movies, and even satellite events can be viewed at the Beacon.

Motion Picture Advisory Ratings for British Columbia

General

May contain occasional violence, swearing and coarse language, and the most innocent of sexually suggestive scenes and nudity. Suitable for viewers of all ages.

Parental Guidance

May contain less subtle sexually suggestive scenes and nudity and a more realistic portrayal of violence than in the General category; coarse language may occur more often than in the General category. Theme or content may not be suitable for all children though there is no age restriction. Parental discretion is advised.

14 Accompaniment

May contain violence, coarse language or sexually suggestive scenes, or any combination of them. Suitable for viewers 14 years of age or older. Viewers under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

18 Accompaniment

Will contain horror, explicit violence, frequent coarse language or scenes that are more sexually suggestive than in the 14A category, or any combination of them. Suitable for viewers 18 years of age or older. Viewers under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.

Restricted

These are “adult motion pictures” and may contain explicit sex scenes, violence or scenes referred to in section 5(3) of the Motion Picture Act, or any combination of them. The director assigns this category to motion pictures if the director considers that the theme, subject matter or plot of the adult motion picture is artistic, historical, political, educational or scientific. Restricted to viewers 18 years of age and over. Persons under 18 years of age are not permitted to attend under any circumstances.

Adult

These are “adult motion pictures” and may contain explicit sex scenes or scenes of brutality or torture to persons or animals, or any combination of them, which are portrayed in a realistic and explicit manner; however, the scenes would, in the director’s opinion, be tolerable to the community. Restricted to viewers 18 years of age and over. Persons under 18 years of age are not permitted to attend under any circumstances.

Advisories

We are committed to providing movie-goers with information about the type of content classified motion pictures contain. In addition to applying a category, classifiers attach advisories to highlight the key reasons why the category was assigned.

Below is a list of some advisories we commonly use. Please note, this list is not exhaustive and is subject to change. Our goals of reflecting community standards and helping consumers stay informed encourage us to be flexible in developing new advisories as needed.

accident trauma: depictions of injuries caused by accidents (e.g. natural disaster, vehicle collision, etc.)

bullying: anti-social behaviour (particularly in a school environment) in which a character intimidates, torments or physically harms another character

coarse language: profanity (i.e. “four-letter” words), blasphemy, or language that disparages race or sexual orientation; may include sexual language

crude content: ingestion of, evacuation of, or contact with bodily fluids (e.g. vomit, urine, feces)

drug use: injection, consumption or inhalation of illegal drugs

explicit sex scenes: scenes that depict a sexual act which is actually visible to the viewer; for example, the viewer will be able to clearly see a genital-to-genital connection

explicit violence: violence that is expressly conveyed and depicted in detail. It may be characterized by extreme brutality, torture, tissue damage, dismemberment and/or decapitation

frightening scenes: scenes that are startling, suspenseful, threatening and/or intense; may involve supernatural beings

sexual innuendo: non-explicit dialogue or gestures that imply sexuality

sexual language: dialogue that does not necessarily include coarse language, but explicitly describes or refers to sexual activity

sexually suggestive scenes: characters are acting as if they are engaging in sex; the scene suggests that a sexual act may be occurring; genital connections, and other explicit depictions, are not visible

sexual violence: physically coercive sexual assault

simulated sexual content: realistic sexual depictions in an animated or still-imagery context

theme: subject included in dialogue (e.g. suicide, sexual violence, discrimination, human trafficking, etc.)
