“MUBI’s mission to support unique voices and ambitious films from around the world aligns seamlessly with Anuvu’s desire to provide diverse and high-quality content to our customers,” said Estibaliz Asiain, Anuvu SVP Media and Content. “With Oscar-caliber art house films that are a perfect complement to our current slate of foreign language titles, our partnership addresses a clear need in the industry for content flexible enough to match passenger and crew demographics. We are thrilled to partner with MUBI to fulfill the industry’s evolving media and content needs.”
MUBI makes, acquires, curates, and champions visionary films, connecting them to audiences all over the world via its streaming platform available in 190 countries and film distribution arm.
