Interbay Cinema Society (ICS) is a brand that is dedicated to supporting filmmakers who work outside of the mainstream conception of filmmaking. Founded by filmmakers Jon Behrens and Caryn Cline, ICS aims to provide material support for filmmakers who experiment with celluloid film. The brand offers a range of products and services to fulfill its mission.

One of the key offerings of ICS is the Lightpress Grants. These grants provide artists with the means to digitize their film work, making it accessible in high-quality digital formats. In addition to grants, ICS also organizes the Engauge Experimental Film Festival, where sprocket-driven, artist-made work is showcased on screen.

Furthermore, ICS is committed to promoting education in experimental filmmaking. The brand hosts workshops and screenings as part of its ICS Educational Initiative, allowing filmmakers to learn and practice different techniques. By supporting emerging and established filmmakers through grants, festivals, and educational initiatives, ICS strives to foster more work on celluloid and help alleviate the significant costs associated with making film work available in digital formats.
