\n\tMubi<\/a> has struck a multi-year co-financing pact with Helsinki-based investment fund manager IPR.VC<\/a> to bankroll a slate of prestige European auteur-driven films. <\/p>\n

\n\tTheir partnership is kicking off with Pawel Pawlikowski\u2019s \u201cFatherland\u201d and Felix Van Groeningen\u2019s \u201cLet Love In,\u201d both of which are tipped for the Cannes Film Festival. <\/p>\n

As part of the deal,\u00a0IPR.VC\u00a0becomes a strategic investor in future theatrical projects developed and produced by Mubi, in addition to \u201cFatherland\u201d and \u201cLet Love In.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tIPR.VC, which already has similar deals in place with A24 and MK2, will help Mubi mitigate risk in a volatile distribution landscape where fewer indie films are profitable, regardless of the cast and director\u2019s pedigree. The company recently released Lynne Ramsay\u2019s \u201cDie, My Love\u201d which competed at Cannes and has so far failed to ignite the box office. In spite of challenges, Mubi has ramped up its film production and distribution of high-end auteur cinema in the last couple years, and secured $100 million investment from Sequoia in 2025. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFatherland,\u201d which stars August Diehl and Sandra H\u00fcller, is a film that Mubi played a leading role in. The outfit produced it alongside Mario Gianani and Lorenzo Mieli for Our Films; Ewa Puszczynska for Extreme Emotions, Jeanne Tremsal and Edward Berger for Nine Hours, Dimitri Rassam for Chapter2 and Lorenzo Gangarossa for Circle One.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film is set during the Cold War and centers on the relationship between writer Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFrom day one, Mubi has been about making space for great cinema and the people who create it,\u201d said Efe Cakarel<\/a>, Mubi\u2019s founder and CEO. \u201cThis alliance with\u00a0IPR.VC, a team that truly understands the value of ambitious, filmmaker-driven work, gives us greater capacity to support filmmakers, protect the integrity of their vision, and bring bold, distinctive films to audiences around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCakarel said \u201cFatherland\u201d and \u201cLet Love In\u201d reflect \u201cexactly the kind of cinema\u201d they \u201cwant to keep championing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSince launching a decade ago, IPR.VC\u00a0has financed more than 65 productions across three funds, with the European Investment Fund committing \u20ac25 million to its latest vehicle, called Fund III.<\/p>\n

Andrea Scarso, IPR.VC\u2019s managing partner, said, his banner\u00a0\u201cinvests in premium storytelling with long-term cultural impact and commercial value, with a strong commitment to supporting European auteurs and globally relevant voices.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn an era of accelerating media consolidation, Mubi stands out as the leading independent global platform for curated cinema, driven by editorial integrity rather than scale or technology-first logic,\u201d he continued. Scarso added that the partnership \u201ccreates a unique alignment\u201d between the two companies, enabling them to support \u201ca diverse ecosystem of filmmakers and stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mubi\u2019s recent films include Joachim Trier\u2019s Oscar-winning \u201cSentimental Value,\u201d Akinola Davies Jr.\u2019s BAFTA-winning \u201cMy Father\u2019s Shadow,\u201d Kleber de Mendon\u00e7a Filho\u2019s Oscar-nominated \u201cThe Secret Agent,\u201d Jafar Panahi\u2019s Palme d\u2019Or-winning \u201cIt Was Just An Accident\u201d and Jim Jarmusch\u2019s Golden Lion winner \u201cFather Mother Sister Brother.\u201d Besides \u201cFatherland\u201d and \u201cLet Love In,\u201d the company is also expected to bring Jane Schoenbrun\u2019s \u201cTeenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma\u201d and Andrew Haigh\u2019s \u201cA Long Winter\u201d to Cannes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
