what the
industry thinks
The AIMC brings together the leaders and emerging talent across the cinema industry to network and hear from studios and experts on the future content and trends in the industry. HOYTS is a proud supporter of the convention and this October we will be back at the Star Casino on the Gold Coast for this unmissable industry event.
The AIMC is an unrivalled platform for learning, networking and debate, the convention is where we collaborate to enhance and celebrate the unmatched quality of the cinema experience.
As we navigate the rapid evolution of our industry, the AIMC is an essential event to connect stakeholders in a constructive dialogue around the future. It is so exciting to be returning to The Star where we can truly showcase the stellar theatrical line-up for 2024 and beyond.
The AIMC facilitates the growth of the independent distribution industry, promoting Australian cinema and film trade across a broad spectrum of independent film sourced from all corners of the world.
The AIMC is one of the most valuable industry events I have attended over the years. High level intel about audiences from the coal face – the exhibitors – has helped inform our decisions about film development and connecting with audiences, something Film Art Media has built its business around. Distributor pitches are a ‘must see’ for any producer!
As our industry continues its journey towards past box office numbers, never has it been more important to get together at AIMC. Whether it be learning the latest trends in seating or food and beverage or screening the latest footage from upcoming blockbusters or perhaps finding that unknown jewel in a distributor’s line up, it’s too important to miss.
