now in its third year, the nomad continues with its simple goal of promoting films made locally in taiwan, whether they’re digital or celluloid, expat or taiwanese, professional or amateur. we conceive “film” as an “idea” so here’s the best ideas we could find. also, we’d like to thank our sponsors for providing prizes that we will distribute to some of the better films this year. The following is a tentative list of films and schedule for Urban Nomad 2004
