Urban Nomad

Established in 2002, URBAN NOMAD, has been called a "mini-SXSW" and "Taiwan's most punk rock film festival. It is an independent platform for film, music, and art, operating an annual 10-day film festival, a 2-day outdoor music festival and other events. Film festival sections include a curated section for international independent films and a comp... etition section for Taiwanese films. Urban Nomad's mission is to create dialogue between cutting edge ideas and local communities, causes and social movements. We aim to present the newest films and ideas on art, music, creativity, technology, environmental and activist movements, social transformation and culture in general. Attendance is 10,000-15,000 total visits per year. Urban Nomad's mission is to serve as a creative platform to 1) introduce the newest, most innovative international creators to Taiwan, 2) support Taiwan's emerging creative talents, and 3) facilitate interaction between Taiwanese and international creators in a free, creative environment. Urban Nomad is mainly supported by fans, a growing collection of likeminded sponsors, and is a rarity in Taiwan as a major culture event that is not wholly reliant on government funding.Read More
