MUBI (Streaming Service)

MUBI is a global streaming platform, production company, and film distributor that focuses on world cinema, independent films, and curated art-house content. Founded in 2007 by Efe Çakarel, the service originally launched as 'The Auteurs' and has since become a leading destination for cinephiles worldwide. Unlike traditional streaming giants, MUBI is known for its curated approach, often featuring a hand-picked 'film of the day'.

The brand has expanded its footprint significantly through the acquisition of high-profile production and distribution outfits, such as the Match Factory and MUBI GO. While its digital platform serves users across the globe, the company is headquartered in London and maintains a strong operational presence in New York and other major international hubs. As of the mid-2020s, MUBI remains largely independent, backed by venture capital and private investors, allowing it to maintain its specialized focus on auteur-driven cinema.
