The Film Control Board (FCB), operates under the Office of the Attorney-General, focused primarily on its regulated mandate of film classification and public interest protections. While the Film Fiji (under the Ministry of Trade) handles the economic promotion of the industry, the Film Control Board is the statutory body responsible for censorship and classification under the Cinematographic Films Act 1971.
The Film Control Board is established under the Cinematographic Films Act 1971. The Board is primarily responsible for the appointment of a censor and assistant censor and for hearing and determining appeals made against the decisions of the censors or assistant censors.
The role of a censor is to provide appropriate ratings or classifications to cinematographic films.
