This year we will put together a special section for Kuso, and Kuso shorts will be eligible for prizes.

 

Please note: Films under 15 minutes stand a greater chance of getting accepted. Priority will be given to films with both Chinese and English: in other words, Chinese language films should English subtitles, and all other films should have Chinese subtitles.

 

If your film is accepted, you will be invited to an opening party, toasted royally, and if you can speak at the screening of your film, that would be awesome!

 

This will be the 7th Urban Nomad. We are an annual underground film festival, established in Taipei in 2002. Our goals are to support the local film community and establish links between indie film scenes in Taiwan and nearby countries. After Taipei, Urban Nomad's 2007 festival traveled to Hsinchu and internationally to Basel, Switzerland, Miami and Hong Kong. We showed films from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore and other countries, and we work with local filmmakers everywhere we go.
Through our screenings, we want to put an end to the impersonal 'black box' movie theater environment where hundreds of people can watch films without really noticing each other as human beings. Film is not just about entertainment, it is about communication.
