Mina Mil­eva

Bulgaria

Mina Mil­eva is a film­maker with exper­i­ence in all forms of cinema and advert­ising from the Brit­ish anim­a­tion industry to fest­iv­al and com­mer­cial suc­cess with fic­tion films she wrote and dir­ec­ted togeth­er with part­ner Vesela Kaza­kova. Their doc­u­ment­ar­ies attrac­ted a storm of con­tro­versy and gained them the nick­name “The Demon­ic Duo” in Bulgaria.

Their fic­tion work, described as ter­rif­ic com­edy-drama and a fem­in­ist ral­ly­ing cry got them recog­nised as film makers. CAT IN THE WALL premier­ing in Loc­arno and WOMEN DO CRY in Cannes’s Un Cer­tain Regard were both part of the European Film Academy (EFA) Fea­ture Film selec­tion and were sold worldwide. 

Mina aims to con­tin­ue this socially focused work and learn more about the seri­al format which she would like to view as a form of cinema.
