Welcome to The Mercury!

As an RAA member, you’re a proud South Australian, and hopefully someone who loves movies – whether seeing a film at the cinema or creating your own work.

The Mercury is a member-run cinema screening festival favourites, award winners and cult movies from around the world, as well as a training pathway for those wanting to build a career in the film industry.

We aim to provide experiences around cinema, whether conversations about the films we screen, Q&A sessions with filmmakers, or the opportunity to connect with others who share your taste in quality film from around the globe.
