2024 MINT CFF Competition

In this section, we are dedicated to seeking Chinese films and filmmakers who demonstrate impactful cinematic expression that unfolds thought-provoking true stories with touchable and perceivable lenses.

Active Audience Award

We offered ED 16 awards of £100 to Edinburgh University students attending the inaugural MINT Chinese Film Festival. Our bursary awards are a contribution to the cost of travel and accommodation for those who are taking part in the festival.

Mint Active Audience Award is fully supported by The University of Edinburgh’s Student Experience Grants scheme to motivate students from the University of Edinburgh to explore the exciting cultural events and the diversity of Chinese film. In line with our mission and curatorial ethos, the Mint CFF encourages in particular women and sexual/gender diverse groups living in Edinburgh to participate in the first edition of the Mint Chinese Film festival launched in Keswick, exploring the diversity of Chinese cinemas and meeting like-minded people.
