The Mercury Cinema is a not-for-profit theatre run by the not-for-profit organisation the Media Resource Centre. The Mercury is the only cinema to run new release films alongside a retrospective program. That means you can see Ryan Gosling in Drive one week and Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca the next.

Mercury runs a New Release program of film titles, generally we only exhibit new releases from film festivals and obscure movies that others don’t have access to.

The Mercury Cinema is a 186 seat modern auditorium, fitted with comfortable tiered seating and optimum viewing from all seats. It can be used for a variety of functions including seminars, launches, parties, live and mixed media performances and film nights. The Media Resource Centre’s extensive networks within the film industry mean that we are able to arrange for brand new releases, old classics and everything in between, to be screened at the Mercury. The Adelaide Cinematheque and Seniors on Screen, the Mercury Cinema also presents a range of Special Event Screenings.
