{{Short description|UK short film funding awards scheme}}
{{Unreferenced|date=June 2019|bot=noref (GreenC bot)}}
'''Cinema Extreme''' was a major UK short film funding awards scheme, created in 2002. The scheme was funded by the [UK Film Council](/source/UK_Film_Council)'s [New Cinema Fund](/source/New_Cinema_Fund) and [Film4](/source/Film4) and managed by [The Bureau](/source/The_Bureau_(film_production_company)) with the aim "to  seek out and develop filmmakers with a distinctive directorial voice and cinematic flair".  The fund was awarded on an annual basis, offering funding to a slate of around four short films.

Nineteen films were commissioned. They have been shown at festivals around the  world and won numerous awards including Best Short at the Edinburgh International Film Festival for [Duane Hopkins](/source/Duane_Hopkins)' [Love Me or Leave Me Alone](/source/Love_Me_or_Leave_Me_Alone_(film)) and the [Oscar](/source/Academy_Award) for Best Short Film for [Andrea Arnold](/source/Andrea_Arnold)'s [Wasp](/source/Wasp_(2003_film)).

The scheme has catapulted many of the commissioned filmmakers to their first  feature:

* [Wasp](/source/Wasp_(2003_film)) director [Andrea Arnold](/source/Andrea_Arnold) went on to direct [Red Road](/source/Red_Road_(film)) which won the [Cannes](/source/Cannes) [Jury Prize](/source/Jury_Prize) in 2006;
