The Nomads of Oz is a one-of-a-kind, experimental remake of The Wizard of Oz, set against the vibrant backdrop of the Montreal Mile End. This meta-fictional re-imagining transforms real people and places into the Land of Oz, creating a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

What sets The Nomads of Oz apart is its commitment to raw, authentic magic as there are no elaborate effects or constructed sets. Instead, the film invites viewers to see the “real” world as an enchanting and fantastical universe, convincing the child within all of us that the boundary between reality and fiction is one we draw ourselves.

By embracing the power of imagination, The Nomads of Oz asks: What if the magic we’re searching for has always been right in front of us?
