While 7= 5 percent of theatrically released motion pictures are independently produc= ed, these communities typically lack the resources, personnel and funding t= o address sustainability issues that are available to major Hollywood studi= os and other large, deep-pocketed enterprises. Independent filmmakers creat= e =E2=80=93 and nonprofit film archives collect and store =E2=80=93 a sizea= ble part of moving image and sound heritage. The Academy partnered with the= Library of Congress's National Digital Information Infrastructure and Pres= ervation Program (NDIIPP) to produce this new study with the conviction tha= t these communities shouldn't be allowed to fall through the cracks. For this report, a cross-section of independent filmmakers, distributors an= d marketers was interviewed and a broader online survey of independent film= makers was conducted. In addition, a representative group of nonprofit audi= ovisual archives provided details on their digital preservation activities,= including information about the content they receive as born digital files= , their current practices for digitally reformatting content for preservati= on, and their overall digital infrastructure, policies and funding strategi= es. The report's findings show an urgent need for these diverse and widely = dispersed individuals and organizations to address the digital dilemma befo= re the cultural heritage they represent is permanently lost.
