Film Independent Members and guests are invited to join us for a live Q&A with Nomadland writer/director/producer/editor Chloé Zhao and producers Peter Spears, Mollye Asher and Dan Janvey. Moderated by Mark Olsen (Staff Writer, Los Angeles Times).

Following the economic collapse of a company town in rural Nevada, Fern (Frances McDormand) packs her van and sets off on the road exploring a life outside of conventional society as a modern-day nomad. The third feature film from director Chloé Zhao, Nomadland features real nomads Linda May, Swankie and Bob Wells as Fern’s mentors and comrades in her exploration through the vast landscape of the American West.
