Radio meets cinema.

In collaboration between MUBI, a global streaming platform dedicated to elevating great cinema, we invite residents of Refuge to create an alternate soundtrack to select films. Our host will also explore themes, narratives and musical cues in the movie, building on them in their own style.

For the first episode, which will be broadcast at 12-2PM CET on Friday, June 21st, we invite Berlin-based, Japanese DJ and curator YUI to put her spin on the soundtrack of Wim Wenders’ film Perfect Days, taking us on a personal trip down a memory lane, with Tokyo landscapes and different generations intertwined.

Perfect Days will also be available for streaming on MUBI from Friday. The film follows a contemplative middle-aged man who lives a life of modesty and serenity, spending his days balancing his job as a dutiful caretaker of Tokyo’s numerous public toilets with his passion for music, literature and photography.

As part of this collaboration, you can get 30 days of great cinema for free exclusively on mubi.io/refuge.
