Does this even exist?

I looked around online a little bit for some info on this ACS short, which I've never heard of outside of IMDB, and I can only find very brief references to it in interviews with the director. There is also a brief story at http://www.nineinchnails.net/news/nov00/113000-08.html that suggests that the video does not exist at all--there is no info from the SF film fest on it. Maybe the director is confused? I know Merhige directed a video for Cryptorchid, which is on Manson's new "Lest We Forget" DVD compilation and has stock footage from "Begotten"--has somebody somehow confused that with an ACS video? There are a few dozen votes for this on IMDB, but has anyone actually seen it, does it exist? I am doubtful...

For all of you, to make some things clear:

This is just the music Video released in 1997. It premiered on an Independent Movie Festival and earned an Award. The Video itself was aired just about 3-5 times on MTV between 1AM to 5AM, so nearly noone have really seen it except the Actors, Merhige and the people who visited the Movie Festival.

The Short Film you're all talking about are just scenes Manson wanted for the Dead-to-the-World-Tour during 1996-1998 to play songs like "Track 99" while he would have changes his dresses. But that was canceled due to financial issues. These short scenes are about 3-8 minutes long and include taken scenes from the Movie BEGOTTEN and some Cryptorchid- and ACSS-Scenes.

I have talked with Zim Zum, Merhige and two actors about the whole stuff about 2006/2007 while I opened a petition to seea re-Release (unfortunately there won*t be ever a re-Mastering from any single ACSS-Track, 'cause the Trackfiles got lost). They all confirmed this information.

I read that a person refferred to MansonUsa.com...this was the Website where the whole thing started. The site is now down but there's provider-module.com for all Manson-Fans.

Your question made me curious, so I did a search and found it on youtube! Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1gaD5eFzbw

Whether or not it's the entire thing, I don't know.

Wow, I hadn't even paid attention to the date you posted your question! Ah.. better late than never, yeah? I'll leave this on here anyway...
