"Over the past decade, the Urban Nomad Film Festival has brought some of the most exciting and thought-provoking indie films from around the world to Taipei."
- Catherine Shu, Taipei Times Link to article
"Every April, their group comes together to cultivate a little patch of green, and then they go away. A crowd gathers around, and in the dessert of the political media's incessant screaming about freedom, democracy, life and death, at least we have this oasis."
- eWeekly (eweekly.atmovies.com.tw) Link to article
"You could say the keywords for this film festival are 'revolt', 'rock 'n roll' and 'counter-culture.' To me, nearly every film carries this kind of appeal."
- TC Chang (張鐵志), author, columnist for Apple Daily and numerous other media
"Urban Nomad is a super cool film festival that brings together hipsters, extreme views, cult tastes and environmentalism."
- Ryan Zheng (鄭秉泓), film critic, author of The Love and Death of Taiwan Cinema 《台灣電影愛與死》
"Last year's opening party was one of the top three parties of the year. The deeper into the night, the more beautiful, and the later it got, the more it was going off."
- Chen Te-cheng (陳德政), music critic, author of All Tomorrow's Parties《給所有明日的聚會》
