Digital Nomads and other Fortune Seekers

NED-ENG

2025

This scene is a part of my final film for the MsC Visual Anthropology. The film follows three so called “digital nomads” who have landed on the island of Madeira—one digging into family roots, one leaving behind a dead-end hometown, and one simply seeking new experiences. But while they move freely in search of something more, they do this in a world where others face locked borders and long waits. The film explores the blurry line between following your dreams and escaping your life—and asks: where is the fortune of fortune seekers located: on a tropical island? Or in one’s head?
