We believe independent cinemas are the heart of the community and we are dedicated to supporting them. For more than 25 years, the ICA has been on a mission to represent and advance the interests of independent exhibitors in an increasingly competitive and complex industry. We have members in every Australian state and territory, and a partnership with the New Zealand Motion Picture Exhibitors Association that extends our representation across the Tasman. The strength of our cinemas is in their connection with their local communities whether it’s an arthouse in the city, a regional multiplex, or a single screen in the bush. Independent cinemas have been an enduring part of the Australian social fabric for over a century, and they remain a strong and vibrant part of the industry. Almost 30% of Australian box office comes through the doors of local independent cinemas. ICA supports our members to offer quality entertainment at affordable prices, while supporting the community with local employment and working to create a social hub. We have achieved many things for our members, from the Virtual Print Fee digital conversion program, fantastic consumer promotions through the My Cinema brand to great discounts with leading industry food and beverage suppliers and insurance services.
