Film Distributors' Association Ltd. (FDA) is the trade body for theatrical film distributors in the UK - the companies that release films for UK cinema audiences.
Originally established in London in 1915, FDA liaises and works with many individuals, companies and organisations. FDA's Council, or board, comprising a senior representative of each member company, normally meets six times a year and considers only matters of generic interest to film distributors.
We represent a distribution stance in regular representations to and consultations with the UK Film Council, the government and other trade organisations in the film industry. We are also a passionate advocate of distributors' pivotal role in the well-being of the whole film economy.
We are a founder member of All Industry Marketing for Cinema (AIM), a generic marketing body which works to increase and broaden the UK cinema audience across the board.
