Régie du cinéma (Quebec)

The Régie du cinéma (French pronunciation: [ʁeʒi dy sinema]) was a provincial film classification organization responsible for the motion picture rating system within the Canadian province of Quebec.Existing in several guises since the start of the 20th century, the organization came into being in its final form as a department of the Government of Quebec's Ministry of Culture and Communications (MCC) on 23 June 1983.Its mandate was to classify and approve films for distribution to Quebec's movie theatres and home video outlets.Typically, scenes of violence that are darker than what is depicted in traditional fantasy films warrant a 13+ rating.Nonetheless, the Régie has the authority to deny classification,[4] in which case the movie cannot be distributed in any format in the province of Québec.
A Milk White Flag , a 1916 burlesque short, was refused by the Régie as "not in good taste from a military point of view". [ 1 ]
