The staff at Media Access Australia were saddened to learn today of the death of Mark Sarfaty, the CEO of the Independent Cinemas Association of Australia (ICAA).

Mark was intrinsic to the introduction of accessible cinema in independent cinemas nationally and paved the way for the introduction of audio described cinema across all cinema chains.

Mark was passionate about cinema and this showed through in his leadership of ICAA and in his negotiating skills to move accessible cinema forward in Australia.

He will be greatly missed.
