Our Films and Entourage Expand Mubi Partnership

A new financing pact is tightening the network behind Mubi-backed films in Europe.

Paris-based Entourage Ventures has reached a strategic agreement with Italy’s Our Films to invest in titles that the companies produce alongside global streamer Mubi, according to reports from Cannes. The move builds on an existing three-year co-production, financing and distribution arrangement signed in 2025 and pushes that relationship into a more coordinated investment structure.

Our Films arrives at this deal with fresh visibility. The Mediawan-owned company is in Cannes as producer of Paweł Pawlikowski’s “Fatherland,” a detail that gives the agreement added weight at a moment when independent film financing remains under pressure and producers keep hunting for stronger international alliances.

The agreement points to a simple strategy: pool financing earlier, align partners more closely, and give Mubi-linked films a sturdier path from production to release.

The partnership also reflects a broader shift in the film business. Producers and financiers increasingly favor repeat relationships over one-off deals, especially when distribution partners already sit inside the financing conversation. In that context, this agreement suggests both companies want more control over how projects move from development to market, while using Mubi’s global footprint as a stabilizing force.

What comes next will matter beyond the companies involved. Industry watchers will look for which titles fall under the expanded pact and whether the model gives European productions a clearer route to funding and release. If the arrangement holds, it could offer a template for how independent film groups and specialty platforms share risk in a tougher market.
