Mubi (UK), the global streaming service and Buyer, has acquired the international distribution rights (excluding North America, Spain, and other co-production territories) for the Chilean film ‘The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo’.

The film, directed by Diego Céspedes, was sold by international sales Seller Charades (France) and premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival where it won the Un Certain Regard Award.The acclaimed queer drama, which is also Chile’s official submission for the Best International Feature Film Oscar, features a strong ensemble cast including Tamara Cortés and Matías Catalán. The story is a modern Western set in a 1982 Chilean mining town, where a mysterious illness leads to prejudice against a queer family.

This sale strategically places the film’s international release under Mubi, while Altered Innocence (USA) will handle the separate domestic distribution rights in the US. The multi-territory deal ensures the festival favorite will have both a theatrical run (late 2025/early 2026) and be a premium streaming title. (UK)
