MUBI is a streaming service created for people who want something different from the usual selection of mainstream movies.
Its catalogue focuses on carefully selected cinema from around the world, including:
Rather than filling its library with thousands of similar titles, MUBI places a strong emphasis on curation. Its collections are selected by film lovers and often focus on a particular director, movement, country, festival or theme.
MUBI is available in many countries, but that does not mean every customer receives the same selection of films.
Movie licensing rights are normally agreed separately for each country. As a result, a film available on MUBI UK may be missing from MUBI in the United States, Canada, Europe or another region.
Your location can affect:
StreamLocator currently supports MUBI through the United Kingdom. This means you can access the UK version of MUBI even when you are outside the UK.
This is useful whether MUBI is completely unavailable where you are or you simply want access to films and collections that are part of the UK library.
MUBI checks your location and displays the catalogue licensed for that country.
When you travel or connect from another country, you may notice that:
StreamLocator gives MUBI the correct UK location, allowing you to access the supported UK version of the service.
Once StreamLocator is set up:
You do not need to create a separate UK MUBI account.
Yes.
MUBI is a portable service, which means your existing subscription can be used when travelling between countries.
It does not matter whether your MUBI account was originally created in the UK, United States, Canada, Europe or another supported country. You can sign in with the same account while StreamLocator provides access through the UK region.
You do not need to:
Simply sign in with the MUBI account you already have.
StreamLocator is designed specifically for accessing streaming services.
You do not need to:
Once MUBI has been enabled through your StreamLocator settings, it works through the normal MUBI website and apps.
Streaming rights are normally sold on a country-by-country basis.
A distributor may give MUBI permission to show a film in the UK while another company owns the streaming rights in the United States, Canada, France or another market.
This means two MUBI subscribers in different countries can see different catalogues even when they are paying for the same type of membership.
Your account remains valid, but the content displayed is based on your current location.
StreamLocator allows MUBI to see a supported UK location, giving you access to the UK catalogue from outside the country.
Yes.
StreamLocator does not include a MUBI membership and does not provide paid MUBI films for free.
To watch the complete MUBI catalogue, you will need:
Your MUBI subscription can have been created in any country. It does not have to be a UK account.
StreamLocator simply enables access to the supported UK version of the service.
A traditional VPN can sometimes change your apparent location, but it may also introduce additional steps and streaming problems.
Common VPN issues include:
StreamLocator is designed around streaming services rather than general internet browsing.
There is no server list to search through and no need to remember to connect to a VPN before opening MUBI.
MUBI’s catalogue changes regularly, so the exact selection available will depend on when you visit.
Examples featured on the UK service at the time of writing include:
Because films are added and removed as licensing agreements change, these examples should be checked periodically after publication.
MUBI is particularly well known for films that may not receive wide releases through mainstream streaming platforms.
Its selection regularly includes:
The service features films from countries and filmmaking traditions around the world.
You may find cinema from:
MUBI frequently features films associated with major international festivals, including Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Sundance and Locarno.
Its collections may include festival winners, critically acclaimed premieres and films that received only a limited cinema release.
Alongside new releases, MUBI offers older films and curated retrospectives.
These collections can focus on:
MUBI also carries documentaries, essay films and shorts that are often difficult to find on larger streaming services.
MUBI makes films available in HD and 4K when suitable versions exist.
The quality you receive can depend on:
Some older, independent or restored films may not have a 4K version available.
A MUBI account can be logged in on up to five devices.
Up to two devices can watch films at the same time, making it possible to use MUBI across televisions, streaming players, phones, tablets and computers.
No.
StreamLocator support applies to the MUBI streaming catalogue. It does not provide MUBI GO cinema tickets or make cinema benefits available outside participating MUBI GO locations.
MUBI GO is a separate membership benefit connected to participating physical cinemas and local screenings.
Yes.
StreamLocator lets you access the supported UK version of MUBI while you are outside the United Kingdom.
This gives you access to the UK catalogue rather than the selection normally shown in your current country.
