About the ICA
INDEPENDENT CINEMA ALLIANCE (ICA)
Independent Cinema Alliance (ICA)
Dedicated to the empowerment of independent movie theater owners and operators in North America
The ICA is a trade association dedicated to the empowerment of independent movie theater owners and operators in North America. Established by independents for independents, we are leading the charge to champion the importance of independent cinemas to a dynamic and vibrant motion picture industry. As we gain more members, our voices grow stronger and the value of the Alliance to our industry increases.
The ICA also supports the work being done by the National Association of Cinema Owners (NATO). The ICA’s work compliments and supports the work already being done by NATO.
Alliance members operate cinemas that range in size from single-screen venues in small towns to multiplexes in larger cities from coast to coast in the United States. While many of our members operate just one location, others operate multiple locations across the nation. Regardless of the size of the circuit, we share one common goal: To provide a collective voice that tackles challenges and promotes the importance of independent cinemas to maintain a healthy, and vibrant cinema industry.
In addition to playing a direct role in shaping the future of the independent cinema industry, you and your employees enjoy exclusive benefits and resources specifically designed for independents to help grow your business. From on-demand webinars to marketing campaigns that influence positive perceptions of independents, ICA delivers value to our members and the industry.
