Mindfield showcases features, shorts and music videos by filmmakers from around the world, celebrating and supporting independent, new and alternative filmmakers not just during our annual Film Festival but throughout the year with our monthly competitions.

A number of selected award winners of our bi-monthly online competition will automatically be considered to be in the official selection of our annual festival.

Mindfield aims to show the very best in new independent cinema and to give filmmakers a place to show their work to people who appreciate it.

    Mindfield Film Festival has been a pleasure to work with! Their response time to questions and emails has been swift and their team was extremely helpful throughout the process. We're honored to have been selected for Best Horror and intend on submitting new projects to Mindfield in the future!
