Minna Dufton is an award-winning journalist and documentary film director based in Helsinki. She has learned her craft by working in big broadcasting corporations such as ITN, BBC and Finnish Broadcasting Company Yle for over 20 years. She has been an independent film producer since 2019.

“In addition to making my films, I always want to make impact. I want my films to act as catalysts for change. I particularly want to ensure that women are active and vocal participants in industry conversations around artistic, social and political issues. I lead by my own example and personally put myself on the line to drive this change; physically, mentally and monetarily.”

Minna´s mission is to bring complex and inspiring stories to the screen in a healing manner. She believes that showing vulnerability is the key to showing courage.

Minna comes from North Karelia, a rural part of Finland and is passionate about making films for audiences far away from cinemas and film festivals.
