Any modern film launcher has age marking, which is also called the classification of information products. In Russia there are only five of them, and each is accompanied by some explanations. In fact, their purpose is to protect the psyche of children from the content that does not appropriate age. And before, these restrictions were carried, rather, recommendatory.
But in 2019, in the Federal Law of the "duties of cinemas, not allowed to show films (18+) persons who have not reached 18 years old" were made special directions. If the remaining marks still can somehow get around, then 16+ and 18+, according to the law, obliges the cinema staff to check the documents from visitors and not to let juvenile on the session.
On labels and prohibitions
If earlier it was possible to go with a child for a film with any marking, then new amendments have introduced restrictions. To some extent, it can be said that movies in movies became for children something like an official prohibition, as in the case of alcohol and tobacco products. We bought in advance the session tickets, but employees have doubts about the age of the child - it will not be allowed. Write complaints and prove your right thing is useless, because In the law, direct text it is written that employees must check the date of birth. Even if there are already 16 events, and it was quietly allowed without documents for the film of the category 18+, the cinema can be fined for disregarding the rules.
The prohibition is not covered only on the labeling 12+. If the child is 6 or more years old, he can be put into a cinema accompanied by parents, only age will still have to confirm documented.
On the feasibility of Mer.
In no case, we do not dispute the rationality of laws. But, if you think, the measures are really strange. After all, everything that goes in the cinemas, immediately appears on the Internet, and here in this field the authors of the amendments are drunk in all directions. Even those who limit the child using parental control programs cannot track all its actions. In the end, you can see the forbidden film from friends whose parents are more loyal.
Get to the cinema without documents - unreal?
From the point of view of legislation, visit the cinema without a birth certificate and / or passport can be only at the discretion of the hall administration. At the same time, it is necessary to understand that employees have no special privileges. Rather, they can close their eyes to age or believe the word that the child has achieved a certain age. But this does not exempt them from liability and fines for neglecting by the rules. Moreover, when the amendments came into force, the employees of all Russian cinemas announced this. You can familiarize yourself with the relevant document on the spot.
Therefore, when trying to negotiate with the Hall employee or write a complaint, remember that you are not refused to do on your own. No one wants to swear with dissatisfied visitors and even more to return money. So you cannot challenge the right of administration, you can not even with tickets in your hands. Yes, the situation in this case is unpleasant, but the rules are rules.
