The Cleveland AIVF Salon, a program of the OIFF, are opportunities

and connect with the large, already-established AIVF community across 
the country. The AIVF is a 25-year old national trade association 
based in New York City, that provides support for individual 
producers and advocacy for the media arts field, and is the largest 
national organization representing independent media artists working 
at all levels across all genres. The OIFF also facilitates access to 
the many AIVF membership benefits including health insurance, 
professional publications and trade discounts.
