Urban Nomad Film Fest is the oldest and best known underground film festival in Taiwan. It was founded in Taipei in 2002, and the ongoing project is to create a community-oriented film environment and put an end to the impersonal ‘black box’ movie theater environment where hundreds of people can watch films without really interacting with each other. We tend to hold festival screenings and events in warehouses, outdoor spaces and converted spaces, rather than traditional film theaters. Peripheral events include concerts, parties, discussion seminars and directors talks.

Urban Nomad's festival content is socially motivated, growing with and out of digital and grassroots film movements: underground, alternative, digital, arthouse, DVcam, Flash, and web-based films. Our program is evenly split between Taiwanese indie shorts (open submission) and international, independent documentaries and features (feel free to contact us).

Taiwan International Ethnographic Film Festival (TIEFF) is a biennial festival. TIEFF is organized by the Taiwan Association of Visual Ethnography. Its aim is to put the spotlight on documentary films that have been made about culture and ethnography.

Taipei Film Festival is an annual multi-cultural event containing film festival and other film culture-related activities. With approximately 200,000 attendants each year, TaipeiFF has become one of the most influential film festivals in the Chinese-speaking world.

Each year the festival committee selects around 150 features films and 70 animation and short films.
