Welcome back, film fans! From November 13 to 15, MUBI FEST is coming to London for the very first time, marking a major milestone two years after the celebrated global streaming platform and distributor launched its debut UK festival at Manchester\u2019s Aviva Studios. This time around, the programme is even more packed with cinematic gems, plus profound insights into the intricate work it takes to bring these visionary works to life. And while the initial wave of passes sold out within a mere couple of hours when they first went live, organizers have announced that they are now back with a fresh batch of tickets, alongside a series of newly added events and special programming highlights.<\/p>\n
In case you are unfamiliar with the cultural phenomenon, MUBI FEST is an immersive, weekend-long celebration of cinema that brings together passionate cinephiles, renowned filmmakers, and boundary-pushing artists. The carefully curated lineup typically includes exclusive previews of highly anticipated upcoming MUBI releases alongside recent critical highlights culled from prestigious film festivals taking place across the globe. Beyond standard theatrical screenings, the festival has built a reputation for blending moving images with live performance and multidisciplinary art forms.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s London edition is no exception, boasting an extra special, one-of-a-kind screening of F.W. Murnau\u2019s legendary 1926 silent classic Faust. This landmark work of German expressionist cinema has been boldly reimagined with an entirely new, custom live soundtrack composed and performed by Danny L Harle. Known as an irreverent and cutting-edge producer, Harle has previously collaborated with some of the most innovative names in modern pop music, including global icons Charli xcx and PinkPantheress, promising an auditory experience that bridges silent-era mastery with contemporary sonic experimentation.<\/p>\n
Beyond the screenings and musical collaborations, festival attendees will also gain exclusive access to a dynamic live programme featuring leading cultural voices. This includes prominent figures representing major contemporary cultural names, such as key figures from Dazed, fostering deep-dive conversations about the state of modern art and cinema. Alongside these intellectual explorations, the weekend will offer plenty of opportunities to eat, drink, dance, and network with a community of like-minded cinema lovers who share a deep appreciation for the seventh art. However, despite the impressive lineup of events, the absolute crown jewel of the festival is still waiting in the wings.<\/p>\n
The undisputed center-piece of the weekend is a special Dazed x MUBI Cinema Club screening of Making Marie Antoinette, a fascinating documentary directed by Eleanor Coppola. Released twenty years after her daughter Sofia Coppola\u2019s seminal, visually arresting masterpiece Marie Antoinette, the film offers an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes insight into the artistic vision, meticulous craft, and collaborative effort required to bring the historical drama to life. Presented from the unique point-of-view of the director\u2019s mother\u2014who was an exceptionally accomplished documentary-maker in her own right\u2014the film serves as both a loving family portrait and a masterclass in filmmaking from a female perspective.<\/p>\n
Complementing this headline screening, the broader festival programme features an eclectic mix of contemporary discoveries, overlooked treasures, and bold cinematic restorations. Among the notable highlights are screenings of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which will feature a special live introduction by acclaimed actor Gillian Anderson. The schedule also includes Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s evocative Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall, as well as the compelling drama Rose, starring the celebrated actor Sandra H\u00fcller, which will be accompanied by an in-person introduction courtesy of director Markus Schleinzer.<\/p>\n
The festival\u2019s commitment to bridging the gap between past and present is further evidenced by its inclusion of a diverse array of classics, both new and old. Audiences will have the rare opportunity to experience the wickedly acerbic cult comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous on the big screen; renowned documentarian Frederick Wiseman\u2019s incisive consumerism study The Store; and A Bigger Splash, the celebrated 1970s documentary capturing the world of artist David Hockney. Expanding beyond traditional cinema venues, the weekend will also feature a specialized music event heavily inspired by the atmospheric, synth-heavy soundtracks famously associated with the films of Nicolas Winding Refn, taking place within the historic walls of Hackney Town Hall.<\/p>\n
Sound good? MUBI FEST is officially scheduled to take over the Hackney Picturehouse from November 13 to November 15, transforming the East London cultural hub into a vibrant nexus for international film culture. An extra batch of tickets specifically for the highly anticipated screening of Making Marie Antoinette has just been released to the public, offering eager fans a second chance to secure their spot before they sell out once again. Meanwhile, moviegoers looking to attend other marquee events should mark their calendars, as additional tickets for Cameron Winter At Carnegie Hall, Faust, and the rest of the weekend programme are scheduled to go on sale at 10:00 AM on October 27.<\/p>\n
