Mubi Deep Dive: Founder Efe Cakarel & Content Boss Jason Ropell Lift The Lid On Rapid Growth & Next Steps…But What Does The Industry Think?
Disruptor: MUBI Founder Efe Cakarel shares his secrets that led to success for arthouse films like 'The Substance' and 'The Girl With the Needle.'

Among these, are Kelly Reichardt’s Cannes entry The Mastermind, its first full-finance picture, and co-pros including Jim Jarmusch’s Father, Mother, Sister, Brother, starring Adam Driver and Cate Blanchett, and Karim Aïnouz’s Rosebush Pruning.
