To Re-edit the World

Assembled from the contents of 4 boxes of 50s and 60s film shot by San Francisco filmmaker Dion Vigne, spinning through a lost history, a disappearance of names and faces and works and words of the characters who comprised one of the great chapters in American Underground filmmaking. At the center of this San Francisco re-history is the unknown Beat filmmaker - Dion Vigne - a character who we never see but rather feel through the influences of his more renowned contemporaries - Christopher Maclaine, Jordan Belson, The Whitney Brothers, Alfred Hitchcock, Kenneth Anger and Anton Lavey.
　　“To Re-edit the World is a brilliant reconstituting of a lost history.”
