Legitimacy ScoreOverview
MINT Chinese Film Festival is an award-winning, women-led Chinese film festival founded by Chinese film curator Yixiang Lin and Dr Carol Rennie. Based in Kendal at Brewery Arts, it is notable for championing cross-cultural dialogue and women’s representation while presenting a curated programme of contemporary Chinese and Asian cinema, including many UK, European, and international premieres.[1][3][9] Its significance in the UK festival circuit comes from being a leading platform for Chinese and Asian diaspora filmmaking and for combining screenings with filmmaker Q&As, workshops, and wider cultural events.[1][3][9]
