A charming, delicate revelation of the creatures and workers at a bird shelter, Sergio da Costa and Maya Kosa’s film opens your eyes to the devotion and expertise required in animal care. It’s not hard to take these lessons of compassion and rehabilitation and want to apply them to humankind.

A parent and child meet across eras, countries, and memories in Aya Koretzky’s enchanting documentary about her Japanese father’s exceptional globetrotting adventures in the 1970s. As her father’s life blooms before the filmmaker, we see how, decades before, the world blossomed for the young man.

From MUBI regular Jodie Mack comes a tour de force, sui generis globetrotting textile documentary in the form of a 16mm abstract animated (and musical!) feature. An entrancing experience that is as much about the creation and circulation of fabric as it’s about the pure pleasure of color and design.

Never before had a film been so enigmatic and transparent at the same time. Domains makes use of an unexpectedly captivating structure to stage an utterly original dissection of performance, disguised as a tale of female friendship with hints of procedural drama. Don’t wait for an American remake!

We’re delighted to present this Brazilian wonder of hybrid cinema! Araby gives a voice to marginal people—the film’s non-professional cast borrowed from their own reality—and focuses on everyday life’s grace and poetry, transcending usual (mis)representations. A vital paean to working-class heroes.

This lovely documentary compassionately uses a literary classic as a cultural passkey to allow women to talk about their feelings, frustrations, and hopes of love in Kyrgyzstan. Filmed in the diary-like warmth of Super 8, this is a remarkably intimate encounter with perspectives too often unheard.

With images from 70 countries shot by 62 cinematographers, this satirical essay-film travels the world to deliver a treatise about… Nothing. With an absurdist charm all of its own, existential meditations are pondered with whimsical lightheartedness. What’s more, Iggy Pop narrates—in verse!

We are proud to launch an exclusive strand, Undiscovered, spotlighting adventurous films that push boundaries, with this compassionate documentary. It goes beyond the news reports and judgements to give the power of storytelling to those who rarely have a voice. An engrossing epic full of humanity.
