The 2024 (2nd) Mint Chinese Film Festival came to a close on February 4th at the Keswick Alhambra Cinema!

We are the UK's first women-organised Chinese film festival focussed on cross-cultural communication and women’s representations in films. 

After a period of recovery, we will be planning MINT ON TOUR events in major cities across the UK and further afield for the rest of 2024.
