For two successful years, NomadsLand has held monthly documentary screenings in conjunction with legendary progressive eatery, bookstore and salon Busboys and Poets. Our aim this year is to coordinate closely with Washington, D.C. area nonprofits and social enterprises to create 7 themed nights on important social issues and frame the discussion with a fantastic feature documentary.
To see our listing of past films and our upcoming scheduled event dates, click here at MeetUp.
Each screening consists of an independent feature film and 30-minute round-table discussion with the filmmaker. International filmmakers field questions after the screening - whether in-person or via phone or Skype video conferencing.
If you would like your film to be considered for the upcoming season, please send the following information to filmfestival@nomadsland.com.
- The name of the film and a short synopsis
- Your association with the film (producer, distributor, director, etc.)
- A list of festivals the film has been featured in (you must have at least one)
- Links to the film's webpage, critical reviews, online video trailers or full-length streaming
- Your preferred date of screening from our Calendar
We prefer newer films (made in the last two years) but will consider all entries. Our deadline for our December slot is Friday, November 20, 2009. Our deadline for all other entries is December 10, 2009 but we will program on a first-com first-serve basis.
Thanks for being a member of our growing community.
All the best,
The Events Team at NomadsLand Network
