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).
