Looking for Film Ratings - 28/8/2012 9:45:43 AM

Hi,
I'm looking for Film Ratings (Age Ratings) for the following countries for a Research project. This is similar to the MPAA Ratings in America or the Australian Classification Board for Australia.

Eg: -
E � Exempt from classification.
G � General. The content is very mild in impact.
PG � Parental guidance recommended. There are no age restrictions. The content is mild in impact.
M � Recommended for mature audiences. There are no age restrictions. The content is moderate in impact.

The countries are :-
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Bahrain
Belarus
Chad
Croatia
Egypt
Georgia
Israel
Jordan
Kuwait
Kyrgyzstan
Lebanon
Moldova
Oman
Qatar
Saudi Arabia
Serbia
Syria
Tajikistan
Turkey
Turkmenistan
Ukraine
Uzbekistan

It'd be great if someone could point me where I could get this info.

Thanks,

Rob Lowe

It's not massively difficult - IMDB a larger film and check where the ratings are for, wiki for film ratings and you get most countries with formal systems on a single page and then Censorship in x country and you get info on what process may be followed generally back up by Cinema of xx where anything else is missing and it should tell you how the industry is controlled.

Thanks for the hints elab49. Problem is for 90 percent of these countries there are no Ratings on IMDB, nor are there Rating Classification systems on wiki. I'm not sure it's safe to assume there is no classification in these countries because most of these places have strict censorship laws.
