Cinema Nomad is an arts and culture focused travel series that explores various nations through the lens of the country’s cinematic past, present and future. In each episode, our cinephile host, Stephanie Gardner, takes viewers on a journey around the world through the eyes and experiences of filmmakers in their thirties, from a diverse set of backgrounds, delving into their hopes, dreams, and desires. Viewers are immersed in the local filmmakers’ day-to-day lives, visiting their homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, hang-outs, and the locations that inspire their creativity.
Bolivia: Journey to colorful La Paz, the highest capital city in the world, to meet Alejandro, photographer-turned-director, who hails from a filmmaking family. We travel across the world’s largest salt-flats to a Quechuan village, where Alejandro made his Sundance-winning film, “Utama.” We attend film premieres, ceremonial dances, and explore the cultural landscape of Bolivia’s indigenous population.
Uganda: Explore Uganda, a biodiverse country with multiple kingdoms. Stephanie hikes through local villages and treks mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and golden monkeys. She traces the path Katherine Hepburn took on “The African Queen.” We meet Patience, a bold and brave director in Entebbe, who strives to tell decolonized stories and bring dignity to her ancestors.
Cambodia: Cambodia has a rich tradition of storytelling from ancient times to today. We meet Ines, who grapples with historical trauma by telling fable-like stories as metaphors to the past. From ancient temples of Angkor; to luscious rice fields; the hip-hop art scene of Battambang, and the French Colonial whims of Phnom Penh; Cambodia is full of color, joy and a revival to the tune of better days ahead.
