The aim of the Melbourne Independent Filmakers site is to provide some documentation about the myriad independent filmmakers that have existed, and continue to exist, in Melbourne. The site's owner classifies a filmmaker as "independent" if he or she has shown or is showing an individual spirit and committed attitude to realising their particular cinematic vision. And if they have also (at some point) shown some initiative in making their work without official financial support - that they have or had (for those directors from the past) a willingness to create their works, at whatever cost. More information and profiles of Melbourne film artists and directors can be found at the site : http://www.innersense.com.au/mif/
