The Independent Media Interest Group was created to promote issues relating to preservation and access of independent media to independent producers. Our main focus is on issues relating to the preservation and access of non-commercial film and video. This includes documentary, factual, narrative, experimental film and video art, electronic art and all works produced in the digital realm including web-based art and newly emerging technological art. Independent works created for the public television market are also included.

The group is also concerned with paper documentation of independent media (files, posters, photographs, ephemera, etc.) Our current project is a "Film Preservation Manual for Home and Independent Filmmakers".
