The Auteurs was founded in 2007 by Efe Çakarel, who began work on the business model for MUBI after being unable to watch In the Mood for Love online while in a café in Tokyo.[7] In 2010, the company adopted the new name MUBI.[8]

MUBI is a curated streaming service, which offers an ever-changing collection of hand-picked films, introducing one new film each day.

MUBI is also a distributor[9] and producer.[10] Co-productions include One Fine Morning (Mia Hansen-Løve), Port Authority[11] (Danielle Lessovitz), Amor[12] (Ekwa Msangi), Our Men (Rachel Lang), and a true crime documentary from David Farrier.
