MUBI Fest London 2026 details below!
London’s already packed film festival calendar is getting another addition this autumn, with MUBI bringing its own international film festival to the capital for the first time.
MUBI FEST London 2026 will take over Hackney Picturehouse from November 13 to 15, bringing together festival favourites, upcoming MUBI releases, cult classics and filmmaker Q&As for a three-day celebration of cinema.
For film festival fans (like myself!), it’s another chance to catch titles that have been making their way around the international circuit — including films fresh from Cannes and the BFI London Film Festival — without having to travel quite so far.
While this marks the first London edition, MUBI FEST has been running internationally since its launch in Santiago, Chile, in 2023, with subsequent editions held in cities around the world.
Among the programme highlights are Rose, starring Sandra Hüller, Andrew Haigh’s A Long Winter, Lukas Dhont’s Coward and Diego Céspedes’ The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo.
When and where is MUBI FEST London 2026?
MUBI FEST London 2026 will take place at Hackney Picturehouse from November 13–15, 2026.
The weekend will extend beyond screenings with filmmaker Q&As, panel discussions, live music and social events. There will also be a custom-built MUBI Library featuring Notebook magazine and titles from MUBI Editions.
What’s showing at MUBI FEST London 2026?
The festival opens Friday with one of the first UK screenings of Markus Schleinzer’s Rose, followed by a Q&A with the director. The opening day also includes a 25th-anniversary 4K restoration of Donnie Darko and a screening of Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive.
Saturday’s programme includes Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Minotaur, Lukas Dhont’s Coward – followed by a Q&A with co-writer Angelo Tijssens and actors Valentin Campagne and Emmanuel Macchia — and a 50th-anniversary screening of Horace Ové’s Pressure.
Diego Céspedes will also appear for The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo, while Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden and Sophy Romvari’s Blue Heron are among the day’s other screenings.
Andrew Haigh’s A Long Winter closes the festival on Sunday, with Haigh taking part in a post-screening Q&A.
