RE: AIVF to Close Operations with Efforts Underway to Continue the Independent

In February AIVF launched an emergency fundraising appeal with an announcement to members that the organization faced an uncertain future. We are sorry to report that we have not reached the fundraising targets necessary for a turnaround and continuation of operations. However, long-term supporters in the independent community are organizing later this month to assess whether a core group of champions can take over hands-on management of the Independent while also reinventing and relaunching AIVF as a membership organization. We are also actively exploring other options for continuing publication of the Independent through
other like-minded organizations.

Read on for important information about AIVF member benefits and updates on future prospects:

Health insurance continues through 12-31-2006: For those currently covered by health insurance based on your AIVF membership, your coverage will continue through the end of this year (Dec. 31, 2006) no matter what your renewal date. For questions about your existing coverage, please contact:

There's a great interview with one of my personal heroes, documentarian Les Blank.

Glad to see it back, even if it's just an online version for now!
