| The global curated streaming service MUBI has announced it will host a free exclusive preview of EMA in the US on May 1, featuring an appearance from the film’s leading talent Mariana Di Girolamo.
In collaboration with the film’s US distributor Music Box Films, the special preview will be hosted exclusively on MUBI and will be available to stream for free for 24-hours prior to its release in theaters nationwide later this year. Mariana Di Girolamo will introduce the virtual premiere in over 50 countries including the US, and conclude with an exclusive pre-recorded Q&A, which will be available to watch on May 1 only.
EMA will receive a theatrical and home entertainment release in the US from Music Box Films, later this year.
Following Pablo Larraín’s acclaimed JACKIE (2016), NERUDA (2016) and NO (2012), EMA is an intoxicating comment on sex, power and chaos in modern-day Chile. Knife-sharp and unapologetically punk, the film is a whirlwind of provocative, no-holds-barred anarchy, anchored by a searing central performance from rising star Mariana Di Girolamo alongside Gael García Bernal (MOZART IN THE JUNGLE, AMORES PERROS, Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN).
Driven by an electrifying original score by Nicolás Jaar and a reggaeton track list plucked straight from the streets of Valparaíso, Larraín’s latest is thrillingly defiant and palpably fresh.
Efe Cakarel, Founder and CEO of MUBI said: “Pablo is renowned for his distinct and visionary work and we can’t wait to make this extraordinary film available to as many people as possible. This is the first time we’ve previewed a film exclusively on MUBI for free and we are honored to be working with someone as inspiring as Pablo, and show a film as mesmerising as EMA.”
Brian Andreotti of Music Box Films said: “In these unprecedented times, with the cancellation of film festivals nationwide, MUBI’s 24-hour streaming word-of-mouth preview is an innovative way for Music Box Films to increase awareness of EMA and build momentum as we prepare for the film’s theatrical and home entertainment release later this year.”
MUBI will be previewing EMA in over 50 countries on May 1, including the UK, Canada, Chile, Argentina, South Korea, India, Sweden, Singapore and more.
The free preview of EMA can be streamed on the web and iOS devices and will be available in the US from 12am PST on May 1. More information on how to watch can be found at mubi.com/ema.
