7 daze of fun @ SCOPE basel

Here are some photos of our fun-filled week on the fringe of the superbowl of art whoring. Everyone tells us we were a big hit, and I think the reason is because we tried NOT to show ANY ART! Actually, we did, but we didn't spend much time billing it as art. For what it was worth, we had a good time.

Okay, our setup was in the bar/foyer of the SCOPE BASEL art fair. See for yourself:

URBAN NOMAD @ SCOPE BASEL JUNE 11-17



今年的城市遊牧影展延續至瑞士巴塞爾 (Basel, Switzerland) 的世界最重要的藝術博覽會之一的 Scope Art Fair從6月11-17日放影片。Scope將這屆的獨立策展人獎給予城市遊牧總監 David Frazier 而且邀請他到巴塞爾帶許多亞洲影片與video 藝術作品參展。這次的影幕是展覽大廳的一面,一走入大門就不得不看到。 因為活動的形式是藝術博覽會,觀眾會包含許多收藏者,策展人以及各種各類的藝術界夥伴,因為博覽會進行的時間剛好是兩個非常重要藝術活動的開幕中間, 就是威尼斯雙年展與德國的五年一次辦的 Documenta ,可見力算滿高。我門很榮幸有這個機會結紹台灣、香港、中國、新加坡、菲律賓、印尼以及他地的影片在世界的舞台上。

Scope中我門會把當天的放影時間表公佈在下面

The Scope Art Fair has named Urban Nomad Film Fest's director David Frazier as recipient of its "Independent Curator Award" and invited Urban Nomad to show its program of films at its upcoming fair in Basel, Switzerland from June 11-17. The screenings will take place in a booth immediately everyone walking through the fair’s main entrance and will include most of the 28+ hours of programming at 2007 Urban Nomad Taipei as well as additional segments of video art, films by the Philippine rights and film collective Southern Tagalog Exposure, and other recent discoveries.

During the fair, daily screening schedules will be announced below this post.

Urban Nomad's big mission or whatever is to put an end to the impersonal "black box" of the movie theater, to stop this situation where people just watch the screen and ignore each other. Sure, film can be profound, but on the whole we are against elitist film nerds (and art nerds) because movies (and art) are in the end for everybody. That's why we show both video art and skateboarding videos, and also why we'll be at Scope Basel, an art fair that's not afraid of the fringe, where we'll show some crazyass shit on a screen at one end of the fair's exhibition hall next to a bar. It'll happen at least ten hours a day for the duration of the fair.

Urban Nomad is based in Taipei and has been held over the last six years in warehouses, train stations, courtyards and lawns, but never in the same space twice. We show films from Taiwan and all around southeast Asia, North America and also Taiwan's "arch-enemy" China.

In doing this festival, we've seen an underground or indie network forming directly between scenes wherever they happen to be. Yeah, yeah, we know the Internet is a "second channel" for bypassing pop music, Hollywood and big media, and we'd be idiots if we didn't tap into it. But unlike computers, we bring people face to face. The idea is to think globally and act locally, to realize that Malaysian kids, for example, have a lot to say to Taiwanese kids and vice versa, and work for a new kind of "virtual" community.

K, cool shit from Urban Nomad 2007 includes at least 6 hours of programming from the Axis of Evil, including documentaries from North Korea and Iran; shorts by Eko Nugroho, an Indonesian whose cartoons are like an anti-capitalist version of the tripped out intros to Monty Python's Flying Circus; we have a computer-animated saga of flame wars in Taiwan's university Internet bulletin boards by Lin Shi-yong, a film that’s been downloaded tens of thousands of downloads but never entered a serious film festival; video works by Taiwanese bluechip artists, including Chen Chieh-ren, Peng Hong-chih and Kuo I-chen; weird, hilarious selections from the DVD magazine Wholphin, a multimedia spin-off of the San Francisco-based indie literary publishing house McSweeneys; and oh yeah, all kinds of home movies about skateboarding, surfing and one Super8, DIY parody of Star Wars where the Force = marijuana.

Boilerplates: The Urban Nomad Film Fest was founded in Taipei in 2002 by two expatriate journalists, David Frazier and Sean Scanlan. In its sixth edition, in April-May 2007, it screened over 100 films and 28 hours of unique programming.
Scope is a cutting edge fair for contemporary art founded in 2002. It has been held New York, Miami, Los Angeles, London, and the Hamptons and this year debuts in Basel.

We finally made it into a theater with
Urban Nomad beginning a week-long run at the
Hsinchu Image Museum.

Here's a couple of pics from the kick-off
event including a little down-time, and a Q&A session
for two of our own films, "2days Cosplay"
and "Convenient".

UN runs throughout the week at the Hsinchu
Image Museum located at 63 Jhongjheng Road (just 5 minutes
walking from the Hsinchu train station) from Tuesday- Sunday
with daily screenings at 2PM and & 7PM.

Of special interest is a retrospective of
our Wu Tung-Wang our "director in focus" on
Saturday, May 26, at 2PM.

Wu will present his work such as
short films "And Now Happiness" which appeared at the
Sundance Film Festival, and most recently,
"Hot Throbbing Cock" which was showcased
at this year's New York Underground Film Festival.

The screening will be followed by a filmmaker Q&A with
well-known film critic Li Yo-Hsin who will also be on hand
along with 30 students from his film studies course.

And did we mention that residents of Hsinchu get
free admission to all screenings?

UN07 - DAY 11 - MAY 6, 2007

We rounded out the fest with a bang at Nanhai art gallery. The highlights were a packed house for Friday nights lineup by programmer Tony Wu. It featured Tung-wang Wu's segment, which gave rise to some semi-serious debate on Taiwanese identity. A second director in focus, Lynn Chen, showed two films on Saturday.


Nanhai Gallery.


Lynn Chen talks about her "Seven Scenes About Love" and "Flight to Yesterday."

Ms. Ding from Taiwan Public Television was also there Friday working on a program about Taiwanese identity.


Tung-wang also has a friend at the Liberty Times, which provided this coverage.

UN07 - DAY 8 - MAY 3, 2007

What a way to put an end to a week long run at TAV!

The festival was proud to host a q&a with Hsu Ya-Ting
director of the film "Life With Happiness" about the
plight of patients living at Lesheng Leprosy Sanitarium.
As many know, this facility has been slated for
demolition on many occasions, with the latest
deadline extended to June 1st.

Later it was Molmol and "Treasure Hill"
a documentary about an artists
community-squatter village
which was shuttered by city officials
earlier this year. A large crowd of artists, misfits and
anarchists turned out for this viewing: a fitting tribute
to a once glorious, righteous community which hosted UN05.

And then it was on to the big mac, or the film that
spawned a thousand lawsuits and turned a nation
on to healthy eating. Representatives from the Wild At
Heart Environmental Foundation introduced the film and
a young student handed out leaflets about a protest he
was planning against the McDonald's in front of National
Taiwan University on Sunday.

Hey man, everybody got the right to say
what they wanna say, and anyways, we're pretty
psyched cuz he's gonna let us borrow his car to
move our cases of beer to the Nanhai Art Space for
the Friday night showing of ...."Hot Throbbing Cock" at 7PM.

UNO7 screams into its final weekend.


An interview with "McLibel" director Franny Armstrong made the cover of POTS the week of the fest.

Big props to director and activist Hsu Ya-ting.

Molmol and Wu Zhong-wei, king of the Treasure Hill squatters.

As we were running low on t-shirts, we decided to crank up the t-shirt factory.

UN07 - DAY 6 - MAY 1, 2007

The change from outdoors to indoors
was finally accomplished on tuesday
as a large crowd turned out for the chance
to talk to the entire cast of the film "Love Song
in the Memory" by Momo Tseng.

Also, filmmaker and lecturer Lionel
Chok debuted his film "Crossroads"
as well as answered questions about why in the
heck this Singaporean film was done in
Chinese.

His answer "most taxi drivers in Singapore
speak Chinese".

Other directors were in attendance such as Long Yuan-Zhi,
"Night of the Square Boat" (seen in the photo playing
with this cat which also snuck into the theater on
Tuesday night). And there was also bartender Charles,
and filmmaker Wu Tung-Wang of "Hot Throbbing
Cock" who can been seen here guarding our
stash of Heineken.

Wednesday promises to draw a bigger
crowd for our "Asian Upheaval" segment
including a documentary about the Burmese
government's attempt to exterminate minorities
in the north, Martyn See's "Speakers Cornered"
and the humorous film about one man's dream
to go to Russia and study agriculture, "Dr. Zhang".
films festival is finally starting to get its swing o!


Singapore's Lionel Chok introduces his "Crossroads"

UN07 - DAY 5 - APRIL 30

A heavy rain did not stop a total of 8 film directors
from turning out for the Urban Nomad screening on
Monday evening.

An indoor setting kept everyone dry and toasty, and
provided just the right atmosphere for
visiting filmmaker Jacen Tan to introduce his
film "Zo Gong."

Remi Crussiere was also on hand to
discuss his film "Profiling" as was Sharon Liu of
"19" and Debbie Hsu of "Her Memory of the Smell".

Also, it was the Taiwan debut of "Todo Todo Terros"
the very first feature film from experimental Philipine
filmmaker John Torres.

Tuesday promises to be better yet as Singapore
filmmaker and lecturer Lionel Chok introduces
his film "Crossroads" to be followed Lin Jing-Jieh's
"Street Survivor" winner of Best Taiwanese Film at
2006 Golden Horse Digital Film Festival.

Did we mention our special on Heineken and
maybe tonight's mixed drink: rum and coke.

Also, more t-shirts are on their way, in
both small and large sizes.

UN07 - DAY 2 - April 27, 2007

After the gala opening at Capone's
Taipei's underground film community
got the chance to come
together at the first outdoor
screening of the year for
Urban Nomad.

Nick Bonner, who produced two
documentaries on North Korea we showed
this year, concluded his
stay with a q&a session which
continued onwards to the bar
and lasted till the wee hours of
the morning.

LA film-director Matt Luem
poses outside Taipei Artist Village,
and yes, our largest
billboard yet.

Here's another look!

The Game of Their Lives人生賽事

Daniel Gordon/ 2002/ UK/ 80min/ En + Kor/Ch subs (英+韓/中)
Documentary: The only North Korean soccer team to ever made the World Cup was in 1966 on a fluke. Then they stunned the entire world by beating Italy and advancing to the tournament’s elimination rounds. In 2002, the film crew traveled to the North Korean capital of Pyongyang to interviews the original team members. They open a window into the closed society of the hermit state, and also present a warm sports story of past glory and friendships with the fans in Middlesbrough, England, who adopted them as their own. Though produced in England, virtually everyone in North Korea has also seen this documentary.
**Best Sports Documentary, Royal Society Television Awards (UK) 2003
**Followed by filmmaker Q&A
紀錄片: 北韓足球隊在1966年幸運地參與了當年的世界盃足球賽。結果他們出乎意料的在淘汰賽中擊敗了強敵義大利而晉級。2002年,本片製作單位到了平壤採訪了當時擔崗北韓國家隊的隊員。他們為這個封閉且不為人之的國家開啟了一扇對外的窗,而這群英國佬也被熱情地接納成為當地的一份子,最後呈現了一個由光榮歷史和友誼交織而成的溫馨故事。雖然本片製作於英國,但幾乎所有的北韓民眾都曾被這部片所感動。

A State of Mind心靈國度
Daniel Gordon/ 2004/ UK/ 93min/ En + Kor/ Ch subs (英+韓/中)
Documentary: An unprecedented look into the lives of ordinary residents of Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital city. The film follows the lives of two young girls training for the Mass Games, a highly nationalistic performance of thousands of children dancers and acrobats for the country’s dictator, Kim Jong-il, the “Dear Leader.” The film carefully balances the political realities of life in an an ultra-nationalistic North Korea with the human aspects of how people live, love and strive for a better tomorrow.
**Special Film Award, Pyongyong International Film Festival 2004
**Official Selection: Pusan IFF (2004), International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (2005), Singapore IFF (2005), Sydney FF (2005) and others
**Followed by filmmaker Q&A

紀錄片: 導演史無前例的用鏡頭來一窺北韓首都平壤的日常生活。本片記述著兩位準備參與全國體育競賽的年輕女孩;全國無數兒童、舞者、特技人員藉由這個體育盛會,展現出他們對北韓領導人金正日無上的愛國情操。本片細膩地用愛與生活等人性的觀點來平衡充滿極端愛國主義的政治氣氛。

Who is Haoran? 浩然是誰?
Yang Yishu楊弋樞/ 2006/ China/ 48min/ Ch/ En subs (中/英)
Reality narrative: A group of young teens and/or wannabe gangsters roam around a dirty, minor, backwater of a Chinese city looking for another kid named Haoran. They want to beat the crap out of him. It’s like a reality version of the Human Prey meets Lord of the Flies, and the drama rides the edge of a knife.
真實敘事: 一群青少年(或說是一群幫派少年)在某個中國城市的偏僻角落,尋找一位叫「浩然」的孩子,他們想教訓他滿嘴的胡說八道。這部片就像是現實版的電影Human Prey和Lord of the Flies (蒼蠅王)的綜合體,寫實地呈現出剃刀邊緣般的生活。

Documentary: The footage was shot on overcrowded railway cars in China during the peak of the Chinese new year holiday with accompanying natural sound – cinema verite in the extreme. Passengers sit in the aisles, between cars; Tibetan women sing Mao-era patriotic songs, the mundane becomes the extraordinary.
紀錄片:本片用連續鏡頭紀錄了中國在農曆新年期間過度壅塞鐵路運輸,以及當下的喧囂。因為攝影機與乘客們的零距離造成的肢體接觸,看似鏡頭自己在熙來攘往的人群中開闢出一條路。

鯨 WHOLPHIN 豚
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Wholphin was founded in 2005 by the McSweeneys publishing house as one of America’s first DVD magazines and a self-billed “collection of rare and unseen films.” It includes works by major directors like Miranda July (Me, You and Everyone We Know) and Steven Soderbergh (Sex, Lies and Videotape) and demonstrates general predilections for the situation of the artist, alternative liberalism, and irony in the age of luxury. The name Wholphin is taken from the hybrid of a whale and dolphin (Yes, it’s possible, and in fact it’s already happened.) and meant to connote the somewhat self-conscious creation of “a viable new species.”

鯨豚Wholphin=鯨頭(whale)+豚身(dolphin) (不騙你,畢竟複製羊桃麗誕生後,真的什麼都有可能) 成立於2005年,是美國第一本DVD期刊,標榜「我們專門收集你找不到、不知道的影片」,包括經典作品、教學影片、異國短片,以及主流導演Miranda July (偶然與你相遇)、Steven Soderbergh (性謊言錄音帶) 等之作品。同時,鯨豚代表本世紀「培育出新物種」的無極限創造力。作為一個品味獨特的文學網站兼出版社McSweeney’s,鯨豚邀請閱聽眾分享他們在藝術、人文等的視角,對這時代讓人沉溺的種種享受也毫不留情。鯨豚接受了本屆城市游牧邀請,牠將神秘地泳渡太平洋,數支精采影片將分成兩個主題(I、II)呈現。

We are all very fond of Wang Kar-Wei’s movies and his use of endless chasing, hurrying, running, and jumping, and colliding sequences which stimulate the nerves in the body. What are we chasing after? What are we hurrying after? Why are we running, jumping, and colliding? In this segment we have 11 directors pursuing this vision, often at high speeds and in the process blurring the distinction between reality and dream-like states.

我們愛王家衛的電影,我們愛王家衛電影中無止盡的追趕跑跳碰。電影中的追趕跑跳碰到底帶給我們感官的刺激,我們到底隨著電影在追什麼?趕什麼?跑什麼?跳什麼?碰什麼?11個導演帶來另一種影像中的追趕跑跳碰,失速的快感,奇異的感知,在分不清是真實,還是夢境中遊樂。
