Who Is Mubi For?

According to Mubi, director Huang essentially asked them to stop showing his film. This came after Huang publicly criticized Mubi’s decision to accept $100 million in funding from Sequoia Capital. The investment, announced in May, sparked controversy because Sequoia had also invested in an Israeli defense company, Kela, following the attacks on October 7th and during the ongoing conflict in Gaza. In an Instagram post, Huang explained he wouldn’t promote his film unless Mubi dealt with the situation, stating, ‘We have to start saying ‘NO.’’ and that he wasn’t being overly sensitive about it.
