No Budget DIY Films Are A Folk Art Form

Pretty much - that's what I think about those movies.  Usually made primarily by one artist, seen by a few hundred or maybe a few thousand people, something made for expressing one's creativity and for communicating a set of ideas to others - not necessarily for commercial gain (even if commercial gain is a goal, most indie films do not make much money) - yeah, indie art film - specially small (in scope, simple projects, easier to make than Hollywood movies) DIY features - are folk art - significant projects, but folk art.  (so in a few hundred years or sooner i expect to see indie movies in folk art museums :))
