It used to be that the best form of advertising for your movie was purely word-of-mouth. When you saw a movie that you liked you would tell your friends who would tell their friends and so on.

If you've traveled a fair bit you'll know that the best way to discover a new city is to talk to local people.

So...getting back to Mubi...it's an online cinema and community for people who love film. It's a place to watch, discuss and read all ... Read more
