Classification Ratings

Classifications help you decide which films to choose. Classifications tell you about the impact of the content and the most suitable audience for a film.

What do the ratings mean?

	General (G) G is an advisory classification The content is very mild in impact The G classification is suitable for everyone. G films may contain classifiable elements such as language and themes that are very mild in impact.
	Parental Guidance (PG) PG is an advisory classification The content is mild in impact The impact of PG (Parental Guidance) classified films should be no higher than mild, but they may contain content that children find confusing or upsetting and may require the guidance of parents, teachers or guardians. For example, they may contain classifiable elements such as language and themes that are mild in impact. PG-rated content is not recommended for viewing by people under the age of 15 without guidance from parents, teachers or guardians.
	Mature (M) M is an advisory classification The content is moderate in impact Films classified M (Mature) contain content of a moderate impact. M-rated films are not recommended for children under the age of 15. They include portrayals of elements such as violence and themes that require a mature outlook. However, children under the age of 15 may legally access this material as the classification rating is an advisory category. Parents, teachers and guardians may need to find out more about the specific content before deciding whether the material is suitable for children in their care.
	Mature Accompanied (MA 15+) MA 15+ is a legally restricted classification The content is strong in impact MA 15+ rated material contains strong content and is legally restricted to people over the age of 15. It contains elements such as sex scenes and drug use that could have a strong impact on the viewer. A person may be asked to show proof of their age before purchasing or viewing an MA 15+ film or computer game. Children under the age of 15 may not legally watch, buy or hire MA 15+ rated material unless they are in the company of a parent or adult guardian. Children under the age of 15 who go to the cinema to see an MA 15+ film must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian for the duration of the film. The parent or adult guardian must also purchase the ticket for the child. The guardian must be over the age of 18 and exercising parental control over the child.
	Restricted (R 18+) R 18+ is a legally restricted classification The content is high in impact R 18+ material is restricted to adults as it contains content that is considered high in impact for viewers. This includes content that may be offensive to sections of the adult community. A person may be asked for proof of their age before purchasing, hiring or viewing R 18+ films and computer games at a retail store or cinema.
	Check the Classification (CTC) ‘Check the Classification’ (CTC) message for unclassified films The film has been assessed and approved for advertising. You should check the classification closer to the release date.

Proof of age

Cinemas may verify a person’s age before they provide access to an MA 15+ or R 18+ film.

Proof of age (preferably in the form of photo identification) may be requested of the person claiming to be 15 or 18, or of the parent or guardian.

When can cinemas refuse entry to an MA 15+ or R 18+ film?

Cinemas are required to abide by the MA 15+ and R 18+ age restrictions. This means refusing entry to an MA 15+ film to any person who reasonably appears to be under 15 and who is not accompanied by his or her parent or guardian.

Entry to an R 18+ film in a cinema can be refused to any person who reasonably appears to be under 18.

This also applies to tickets already purchased online.

Who qualifies as a “guardian” for a person under 15?

The “guardian” must be an adult exercising “parental control” over the person under 15 years of age. The guardian needs to be 18 years or older.

An older sibling or friend would not generally satisfy this requirement, whereas a grandparent, aunt or uncle may.

Sensory Screenings

We run Sensory Screenings in the School Holidays.

During a Sensory Screening, the sound is turned down and the lights are left on low for the duration of the screening. People are also free to make noise, get up and walk around during the screening.

Sensory Screenings are designed for people with sensory sensitivities, such as those with autism or sensory processing disorder, but are also great for young children. Everyone is welcome.

Companion Cards

Companion cards accepted – just show our ticket box volunteer your companion card.

Wheelchair Spaces

There are 5 dedicated wheelchair spaces in the cinema; contact the cinema to reserve a space

Larger seats

We have two rows of seats with armrests that fold up out of the way to provide more room. There is also more room in front of those seats compared to the other rows of seats.

Hearing Loop

A hearing loop is available for patrons with hearing aids or who are hearing impaired – please ask the volunteers if you require a hearing loop device on your arrival.

Social Story

A social story has also been developed that can be altered as required for your visit to the cinema. Social stories are used for preparing people for situations before they happen.

Note: the social story is currently in the process of being updated; the cinema has been refurbished after the current social story was created, so the cinema looks slightly different than it does in the social story.

The Euroa Civic Centre was originally constructed in the 1930s. It first opened on 21 December 1938 and acted as a cinema (the Euroa Civic Theatre) until it ceased operation in 1982.

In 2003, the idea of restoring the Euroa Civic Hall to a cinema was proposed due to the lack of entertainment opportunities in the area, particularly for children and youth.

Strathbogie Shire Council applied and was successfully granted funding from the Victorian State Government’s Regional Arts Infrastructure Allocation – Regional Cinemas Program to upgrade the hall and install new cinema equipment. The total cost of the project was approximately $80,000 with funding provided by the State Government and Council on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

After a lot of hard work by community members and Council staff, the Euroa Community Cinema opened to a full house on Friday 14 November 2003, with the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Initially films were shown fortnightly however screenings increased after sufficient demand.

The cinema ran films on 35mm Kinoton commercial cinema equipment until it became obsolete in 2013.

In February 2014 the equipment was upgraded to Barco commercial digital cinema projection equipment. New speakers were also installed to ensure the cinema has 5.1 Dolby surround sound.

The cinema runs movies on commercial digital cinema equipment and screens movies Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons, with additional screenings throughout the year including in the school holidays.

In 2021 – 2022, the cinema underwent refurbishments to the auditorium. This was made possible by Strathbogie Shire Council receiving a $130,000 grant from the Victorian State Government’s Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund.
The refurbishments included sanding and polishing the timber flooring in the auditorium; 160 new seats were installed with some of the historical seating remaining in the front section; the walls were painted and the curtains were cleaned. The new seating included a new floorplan that has dedicated wheelchair spaces and improved accessibility, including two rows of chairs with lift-up arm rests for people who need more room.

The old seating was given to community groups for free, including Violet Town’s St Dunstan Hall Film Society and Albury-Wodonga Theatre Company. St Dunstan’s received 2 rows (22 seats), and Albury-Wodonga Theatre Company received 13 rows (123 seats).

The retained historical seating was originally installed on the balcony when the cinema operated as The Euroa Civic Theatre.
