Tired of mainstream Australian media overlooking local films and devoting so many column centimetres and airtime to Hollywood gossip, Perth-based Australian film buff Matthew Eeles launched Cinema Australia in 2013.
Cinema Australia is an online space dedicated to the support and promotion of Australian made films through independent news, reviews, features and interviews. Along with our website, Cinema Australia has a strong social media following made up of filmmakers and film enthusiasts alike. We strive to continue to grow the Cinema Australia name to benefit Australian films, filmmakers, industry professionals, and audiences keen to know more about Australian film releases.

We run regular, well-received features including โSunday Shortsโ, โMeet The Castโ, โTrailer of the Dayโ and โThe Crowdfundersโ as well as many exclusive articles written by filmmakers.
Our strength is our highly-regarded and much-read interviews which are published in Q&A and article formats, as well as video recorded and shared across social media and YouTube.

The Kookaburra is native to our land and has one of Australiaโs most recognised calls which makes it the perfect icon to represent our brand. The Cinema Australia logo was created by WAโs Jason Chatfield, cartoonist for The New Yorker and the internationally syndicated Ginger Meggs cartoon strip.
