Searchlight Pictures Chairmen Nancy Utley and Steve Gilula announced the landmark screenings today, with an additional bow at the New York Film Festival in October, where Zhao’s film has been selected as the centerpiece selection of the 58th edition of the festival. In “Nomadland” Zhao decides to adapt journalist Jessica Bruder’s 2017 non-fiction book “Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century”. The film, taking place during the 2008 economic recession, follows a woman (played by Frances McDormand) who packs her van and sets off on the road exploring a life on the total outskirts of mainstream society, she, by in turn, becomes a Nomad. A domestic and international theatrical release is expected for “Nomadland” this fall. A source has confirmed to me that the film will be playing “In Competition” at the Venice Film Festival, their lineup is set to be announced tomorrow. Contribute Hire me
