MUBI'S BIG DOWN-UNDER PUSH: INDIE CINEMA HEADS TO AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND
Streaming giant Mubi is teaming with Australian distributor Madman to bring five festival-winning films to theaters across the region—and Jane Schoenbrun's provocative new title is leading the charge.
Mubi is making a serious play for indie film lovers in Australia and New Zealand! According to Variety, the streaming platform has expanded its theatrical partnership with local distributor Madman Entertainment, greenlit to sub-release five films across the region. The slate includes multiple Cannes and Berlinale prize winners—the kind of prestige picks that get cinephiles in seats.
First up to the multiplexes? Jane Schoenbrun's "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma," hitting Australian theaters August 6, with a New Zealand bow scheduled for August 20. That's one heck of a title to get film buffs buzzing!
This expanded deal marks Mubi doubling down on theatrical distribution beyond just streaming—proof that festival darlings and bold indie voices still have an audience craving the big-screen experience. Madman's got serious cred in the region for specialty releases, making them the perfect partner to get these artistic swings in front of the right crowds.
Stay tuned as more titles from this five-film slate get their release dates locked in!
