Overview
Disguised as an educational film. Stereo purports to be a report on the “Canadian Academy of Erotic Inquiry’s” experiments to induce telepathy in eight experimental subjects. It follows the effects of the experiment using the theoretical framework of the parapsychologist Luther Stringfellow. The film is virtually silent except for commentary by the experimenters.

Viewing Notes
A short only in the fact that the running time is under an hour, this is really Cronenberg’s first really fleshed out feature. The cinematography is stunning and the experimental sound design was great. It felt very related to cut up theory and Dadaism and surely had some impact on a young Cabarat Voltaire if they ever saw it.
I’d love to do a double feature of this and Lucas’ original student film version of THX-1138.
