Blume-Emery-Griffiths model with single-ion anisotropy and biquadratic interactions has been applied for the description of thin magnetic films with S=1. According to the Bogolyubov minimization principle, in the frame of molecular field approximation, the phase diagrams, magnetizations and quadrupolar moments in thin films have been calculated.
