Nomadic

Nomadic is an interdisciplinary program that brings together artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers and creatives for an intensive five-day exchange.

During this time, participants collaborate to challenge conventional film-making methods, reworking the process from concept to production and post-production. The aim is to reshape the structure of film, not just in how it’s made but in how it’s experienced by audiences. By embracing experimentation and unconventional approaches, Nomadic encourages participants to break away from traditional storytelling and explore new cinematic forms driven by artistic expression.

At its core, Nomadic is about creative exploration—true to its name, which reflects movement and discovery. This approach allows filmmakers to break narrative conventions, embracing open-ended structures that mirror the spontaneity of real-world encounters. Each city the program visits becomes part of the storytelling process, integrating local people, travelers, and urban rhythms into the films. More than just a film-making initiative, Nomadic is an evolving artistic experience—one that redefines both the creative process and audience engagement by curating immersive screenings and site-specific presentations.
