Naanu is a collective of independent filmmakers and artists focused on transnational creative collaboration. The project was initiated by alumni of the DocNomads Masters, an itinerant program (Lisbon, Budapest, Brussels) dedicated to documentary film directing. We come from all corners of the world and our wish is to carry forward the deep intercultural dialogue fostered during the program.

Naanu was born out of a common dream. The dream of growing a community based on solidarity, love and resilience; committed to radical self-expression and using our privilege to nurture a world of beauty beyond our own walls. The dream of sharing a creative and inclusive space within nature, where identity is fluid, constantly changing and evolving. A space where we can grow our aubergines, invite our neighbours to share a baba ghanouj and discuss the politics behind it.

Whilst cinema is at the heart of Naanu, our interests and projects are as diverse as the members of our collective. We currently organise artist residencies and workshops, creative retreats, film screenings and reading circles.
