History

Originally called The Auteurs, MUBI was founded in 2007 by Turkish-born entrepreneur Efe Çakarel as a social network for cinephiles, with an interface specifically geared towards aesthetic design and simplicity. Çakarel says that he 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. In 2010, the company adopted the new name MUBI.

Since then MUBI has also introduced other services. There is a VOD model, which instead of a large à la carte library, shows a continually rotating lineup of 30 films at once. There are apps for iPad and Android.
