ICA Cinema

The ICA's Cinema encompasses the most challenging and underrepresented aspects of international narrative cinema, documentary practices and experimental moving image works that test the boundaries of film and video media, and often of the cinema auditorium itself.

Off-Circuit  is an ongoing series aiming to provide a platform to new films that have yet to receive a proper spotlight in the UK,  offering audiences a chance to encounter this generation's landmark films on screen for the very first time.

Long Takes is a continuing series of in-depth retrospectives exploring the work of cinema's great artists, both past and present. Long Takes contends that the work of filmmakers from different generations belong in the same conversation, exploring the work of Yvonne Rainer and Marguerite Duras, Hong Sang-soo and Jacques Rivette, and many more. 

The ICA also operates as a distribution agency, supporting and circulating groundbreaking films.
