Vivien Hillgrove’s debut documentary, "Vivien's Wild Ride," explores the unique art of film editing, showcasing how it conveys deeper stories that lie beneath the surface. Having spent decades editing noteworthy films, Hillgrove, now 78, was initially hesitant to create her own film but found inspiration despite her vision impairment. Through personal anecdotes and creative insights, she emphasizes the collaborative essence of filmmaking and illustrates editing's pivotal role in evoking emotional depth, drawing from influences like Walter Murch to construct her narrative.
"the story under the story...the essence of a film - its themes and emotional power - is expressed between the lines."
"How does all this shit go together?...it's her temperament; she's a collaborator more than an initiator."
"I saw this labyrinth and I just went, 'Wowie zowie, what would this look like at night?' It looks like the constellations."
"He takes a tiny little cutout of a person and puts it on the screen of his editing machine to consider the impact of editing choices."
