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 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 insightful explorations into the extensive work it takes to bring these remarkable moving images to life. While the initial wave of passes sold out within a mere couple of hours of going live, organizers have announced that they are now returning with a fresh batch of tickets, alongside a slate of newly added events and experiences for eager audiences.<\/p>\n
For those who might be unfamiliar with the concept, MUBI FEST is a dynamic, weekend-long celebration of cinema that spans exclusive previews of highly anticipated upcoming MUBI releases alongside recent critical highlights sourced from major film festivals across the globe. Beyond the traditional theatrical screenings, the festival prides itself on multidisciplinary crossovers. Among the standout special presentations is an extra special screening of F.W. Murnau\u2019s seminal 1926 silent classic Faust<\/em>, which has been daringly reimagined with an entirely new, bespoke live soundtrack composed and performed by Danny L Harle. Known as an irreverent and cutting-edge producer who has previously collaborated with contemporary pop innovators of the highest tier, including Charli XCX and PinkPantheress, Harle\u2019s sonic intervention promises to bridge the historical and the avant-garde in striking fashion.<\/p>\n Attendees will also gain access to an expansive live programme featuring leading cultural voices\u2014including prominent figures from the worlds of arts and media, with some major names representing Dazed\u2014as well as ample opportunities to eat, drink, dance, and network with like-minded cinema lovers in a vibrant social setting. Yet, even alongside these compelling offerings, the organizers have saved some of their most exciting cultural touchstones for the core schedule.<\/p>\n At the very heart of the cinematic showcase lies the jewel in the proverbial crown: a special Dazed x MUBI Cinema Club screening of Making Marie Antoinette<\/em>, directed by the late Eleanor Coppola. Released twenty years after her daughter Sofia Coppola\u2019s visually seminal masterpiece Marie Antoinette<\/em>, this documentary offers an unprecedented, deeply intimate insight into the artistic vision, rigorous research, and intricate craft behind the creation of the original feature film. Presented from the unique point-of-view of the director\u2019s mother\u2014who was an accomplished and celebrated documentary-maker in her own right\u2014the film sheds light on the creative infrastructure of a modern cinematic landmark.<\/p>\n The broader festival lineup is equally diverse, featuring an eclectic mix of contemporary independent cinema, restored classics, and specialized events. Other notable highlights from the programme include special screenings of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma<\/em>, which will be accompanied by a personal introduction from acclaimed actor Gillian Anderson; Paul Thomas Anderson\u2019s atmospheric Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall<\/em>; and the German-language drama Rose<\/em>, starring Sandra H\u00fcller, which will feature an introductory Q&A and discussion led by its director, Markus Schleinzer. <\/p>\n Digging deeper into cinematic history, the programme balances new discoveries with beloved archival treasures. These include screenings of the wickedly acerbic and endlessly quotable comedy Drop Dead Gorgeous<\/em>; veteran documentarian Frederick Wiseman\u2019s immersive consumerism study The Store<\/em>; and the sun-drenched 1970s David Hockney documentary A Bigger Splash<\/em>. Expanding the festival’s footprint beyond the traditional cinema seat, the weekend will also host a specialized music event at Hackney Town Hall inspired by the pulsing, synth-heavy soundtracks famously associated with the films of Nicolas Winding Refn.<\/p>\n For film enthusiasts looking to secure their place at the inaugural London edition, MUBI FEST 2026 will officially take over the Hackney Picturehouse from November 13 to November 15. An extra batch of tickets specifically for the screening of Making Marie Antoinette<\/em> has just been released to the public, offering a second chance to catch the documentary before it sells out once again. Additional tickets for other high-profile sessions, including Cameron Winter At Carnegie Hall<\/em>, Faust<\/em>, and more, are scheduled to go on sale at 10:00 AM on October 27. <\/p>\n As an added perk for dedicated supporters, Dazed Club members will be able to access discounted tickets for the weekend’s events.
