Mubi and investment fund IPR.VC are teaming up on a multi-year alliance to co-finance a slate of European films.
The alliance launches with Pawel Pawlikowski’s Fatherland, previously known as 1949; and Felix van Groeningen’s Let Love In.
Both titles have been tipped for selection at Cannes Film Festival, with the Official Selection announcement tomorrow (April 9). IPR.VC is now a strategic investor in both, as well as other future titles developed and produced by Mubi.
The pact between IPR.VC and global distributor, streaming service and production firm Mubi will see the films from the slate receive theatrical releases, as well as global distribution on Mubi’s platform.
It is the latest partnership for Finland- and UK-based IPR.VC, alongside deals with A24, XYZ Films and mk2 Films.
The company has financed more than 65 productions across three funds. The European Investment Fund recently committed €25m ($29.3m) to IPR.VC’s latest fund, Fund III.
“This alliance with IPR.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,” said Efe Cakarel, Mubi founder and CEO.
“In 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,” said Andrea Scarso, managing partner at IPR.VC.
