After successful festivals in São Paulo, Istanbul, Santiago, Bogota, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City, MUBI FEST is coming to the UK and will take place at Manchester’s Aviva Studios, home of Factory International, on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 July 2024.
Created for hardcore film fans and the cinematically curious alike, MUBI FEST offers screenings in innovative spaces and chances to explore a collective love of film as well as DJ sets, panel talks, director Q&As, workshops and installations.
Throughout the two-day celebration, there will be exclusive screenings of three of this year’s most exciting releases in the Hall; including Levan Akin’s Georgian drama Crossing, winner of the Teddy Award at this year’s Berlinale; along with the Ross Brothers’ Gasoline Rainbow and Naqqash Khalid’s debut feature In Camera.
On Saturday 13 July, the Dazed x MUBI Cinema Club will present an exclusive screening of Gasoline Rainbow – a joyous cinematic roadtrip about five teenagers from inland Oregon, who pile into a van on a mission to reach the Pacific coast five hundred miles away. Directors Ross Brothers (Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets) will be flying in from New Orleans for an exclusive post-film Q&A.
Before the screening, you’re also invited to join us for a free welcome mixer with food, drinks, and complimentary copies of our latest issue, followed by a packed schedule of talks with exciting creative talent from the film industry and beyond, including the Ross Brothers in conversation. More details announced soon.
Access to MUBI FEST Manchester is free and includes all talks, workshops, and DJ sets. Tickets for film screenings in the Hall cost £8 per person, but Dazed readers are able to snap up exclusive £5 tickets via the Dazed Club app.
