Urban Nomad Film Fest 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. Our annual festivals are held in warehouses, outdoor spaces and other adapted spaces, rather than traditional film theaters. 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. Programming is split about half-and-half between Taiwanese short films (open submissions) and international, independent documentaries and feature films (feel free to contact us).
