Cardiff Mini Film Festival
Bulldozer Films is the founder and host of the annual Cardiff Mini Film Festival. Established in 2012, the festival showcases emerging and independent filmmakers from Wales, the UK and internationally, bringing audiences and filmmakers together for screenings, networking and industry events across Cardiff.
Cardiff Mini Film Festival is both BIFA-qualifying and BAFTA Cymru-qualifying, meaning eligible films screened at the festival can count towards qualification for these prestigious awards.
Previous festivals have been held in a coffee shop vault, a shopping centre basement, an antiques market, a nightclub and a music venue. This festival aims to showcase the strongest up-and-coming talent in Wales and internationally, and is an opportunity for filmmakers and film lovers to mingle throughout the day.
We encourage a wide variety of audience to attend the festival, from actors to musicians, as well as special guests from within the industry which have included Boyd Clack (Twin Town, Satellite City, High Hopes), Kirsten Jones (Satellite City, High Hopes), Philip John (Being Human, Downton Abbey), Kevin Allen (Twin Town), Ryan Eddleston (Prevenge), S4C, Ffilm Cymru Wales, Creative Skillset, Festival Formula, Cult Cymru and many others to meet to discuss your career in the industry.
