GENERAL TICKET INFO
This year we will feature a SHORT FILM HAPPY HOUR each weekday from 6-7pm. Admission is free with any ticket the 7pm screening that night, so come early and check out some killer shorts! Or if you only want to see the shorts, admission is NT$50. Advance tickets are on sale for all screenings through Indievox.com. We know a lot of people are used to buying tickets at the door, but some screenings will probably sell out, so for films you really want to see, we recommend you buy advance tickets. They're also a little cheaper. For news about ticket availability and sold-out screenings, please check the main page on this site and our Facebook page.

List of 2012 Film Submissions

OPENING PARTY: SAT, APRIL 14

THIS ONE'S GOING FULL BLAST!

The annual Urban Nomad party is not going to try to be weirder than last year, though who knows, it might happen anyway? Instead of going for all-out strangeness, this time we’re going for raw energy, so we put together the best lineup of full-blast and highly visual bands and DJs we could find, including Japan’s fashion-art-dance-rock-bizarrities TRIPPPLE NIPPPLES, a San Francisco DJ who dresses like a purple dinosaur, MOCHIPET, and home favorites GO CHIC, DJ NOODLES, FUNKY BROTHERS and MARCUS AURELIUS. In addition expect plenty of projectors, VJs and a whole warehouse full of trippy fun.

2012 SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN!!!

DEADLINE (Feature Films): February 15, 2012 (SUBMISSIONS CLOSED)
DEADLINE (Short Films): March 1, 2012
* Please note, these are deadlines for RECEIVING films (not mailing films).

SHORT FILM COMPETITION: NT$40,000 IN PRIZES

In 2012, Urban Nomad's short film competition will award two jury prizes, with a top prize of NT$20,000 and a second prize of NT$10,000 for "Taiwanese short films". This means films of 45 minutes or less by Taiwanese filmmakers, filmmakers who are residents of Taiwan, or films produced in Taiwan or with some strong connection to Taiwan.

NEW! The Audience Choice Award (NT$10,000) is now open to films from Chinese-speaking territories in Asia, including but not limited to Hong Kong, Singapore, China and Malaysia.

Urban Nomad has the right to decide all questions of eligibility for competitions.

2011 AWARD WINNERS

In 2011, Urban Nomad gave two jury prizes and an audience choice award in its annual competition for short Taiwanese films. The awards were decided by an independent jury and an audience vote, as follows:


JURORS 
Simon Whitfield, film composer (UK)
Nie Yong-zhen (聶永真), film critic (Taiwan)
Roan Ching-yue (阮慶岳), author (Taiwan)*

Danny Perez + I.U.D. in Taipei

Danny Perez

Video artist Danny Perez and Lizzi Bougatsos (Gang Gang Dance) and Sadie Laska of I.U.D. are now in Taipei! Perez is a long time collaborator with Animal Collective and will screen Oddsac, a visual album created together with Animal Collective, at this year's Urban Nomad. He and I.U.D. have also created a specially conceived performance for our Video Mindfuck Party.
