Streaming platform MUBI launch their brand-new festival in Manchester this summer, promising a weekend of contemporary culture with great cinema at the heart of it. Taking place at cultural centre Aviva Studios, home of Factory International, the film festival will be a great opportunity to discover art, food and games through interesting talks, workshops, DJs and of course, the best films.
Highlights from the programme in Manchester include screenings of MUBI titles, like the premiere of Crossing by Levan Akin, which follows the story of a retired teacher’s search through Turkey for her long-lost transgender niece. Fans can also get a preview of Manchester-born filmmaker Naqqash Khalid’s debut feature In Camera, ahead of its UK and Ireland release in September.
