BIENVENUE SUR MUBI

For MUBI’s first-ever restoration project, we are thrilled to present Metin Erksan’s unsung masterwork, an achingly gorgeous love story inspired by Sufi tales. Imbued with a longing for self-actualization amid modern loneliness, this mercurial wonder evokes the fatal idealism of cross-class romance.

Chaos reigns in the riotously funny debut feature from visual artist Martine Syms. With a breakthrough performance from Diamond Stingily, this hallucinatory day-in-the-life of a Black artist is a rollicking satire of art-world pretensions and a rowdy portrayal of sex and drugs in the Internet age.

Tense, combative, discursive: a meeting with James Baldwin doesn’t quite go according to plan for a group of presumptuous white filmmakers in this rarely seen, Paris-set short film. An illuminating snapshot of Baldwin’s intellectual worldview that bristles with friction and ideas.
