Luna Cinemas: 30 Years of Bold Cinema & Community

Luna Cinemas was born in 1994 from a bold idea and a deep love of cinema. Founded by Perth local Ingrid van den Berghe — a self-made businesswoman with decades of experience in the entertainment industry — Luna opened as a twin-screen arthouse on the corner of Oxford and Vincent Street. Since then, we’ve grown into the heart of WA’s independent film scene.

Over 30 years, Luna Palace Cinemas has expanded to three unique locations with 15 screens and an iconic outdoor cinema. We’ve welcomed everyone from homegrown talent to global greats like Philip Noyce, Taika Waititi, and Mike Leigh.

We pioneered audience Q&A screenings in WA, introduced crybaby sessions to the country, let audiences throw spoons at our screens, and helped launch countless homegrown careers. Through it all, we’ve stayed true to our roots: handpicking every film, supporting local artists, and giving back to our community through screenings focused on reconciliation, climate action, and social justice.

More Than a Cinema — An Arts Institution

Luna is a home for film lovers — a place to be entertained, challenged with new ideas, travel the world from your seat, see rare films on the big screen, and escape through cinema.

Our staff are a riot of personalities — filmmakers, artists, cinephiles who know every frame and share their passion generously. Our audiences have laughed, cried, debated, grown, and fallen in love with film under our roof (and under the stars in the Luna Outdoor).

We’ve weathered the rise of streaming, the chaos of a pandemic, the Hollywood Writers’ strike, and ever-changing trends — because what we offer never goes out of style: a sense of belonging, the thrill of discovery, and stories that matter.
