Independent Online Magazine
"Since 1978, The Independent has been the leading source of 
information for independent, grassroots, and activist media-makers, 
providing inspiration and information for their films and video 
projects, as well as creating connections to the larger independent 
media community. 
Founded as a nonprofit organization in 2007, Independent Media 
Publications inherited the rights to the Association of Independent 
Video and Filmmakers’ (AIVF) publications, including the 30-year 
archives of The Independent Film & Video Monthly and several 
books. Since then, the organization has relaunched the magazine online 
with more than 13,000 subscribers and published its first book The Independent’s Guide to Film Distributors. An updated second edition will be released in early 2012. 
With your support,
 Independent Media Publications will digitize and post online all the 
articles dating back to the first issue in 1978, in order to preserve 
this invaluable historic resource for the independent film community.  
Ongoing efforts include launching investigative initiatives on behalf of
 independent media-makers, and continuing to bring readers The Independent online.
