Stereo Page #4

Synopsis: Sometime in the future, the Canadian Academy for Erotic Inquiry is investigating the theories of parapsychologist Luther Stringfellow. Seven young adults volunteer to submit to a form of brain surgery that removes their power of speech but increases their power for telepathic communication. An unseen group of students observes the results. As the experiment progresses, Stringfellow's theories come to fruition. Later, aphrodisiacs and various other drugs are introduced to the subjects to expose an inherent polymorphous perversity. In the end, they are isolated from each other, provoking antagonism and violence between them, which results in two suicides.

formation of a telepathic commune,

which did not depend upon

Stringfellow as a psychic cluster nucleus.

Dr, Stringfellow indicated that he himself

entered a severly depressive psychological

mode upon separation from

the induced telepathy group.

An event,

suggesting that to some extent

telepathic dependency

functions reciprocally.

Even between telepathists

and non-paranormals.

Five intensive months of work

with the remaining subjects

revealed ways to gradually increase the

tolerance among them, or group exposure.

It was found that the telepathic experience

was likely to be an overwhelming

and extremely exhausting one

verging on pain and hallucination.

The most crucial problem for

the telepathist apparently

was to develop within himself

the means to control and modulate

the rate and quality of telepathic

flow between himself and another.

The inexperienced telepathist

simply cannot cope

with the complexity and effort involved

in the social telepathic situation.

The first meeting of all the subjects as a

group took place at the Academy sanitorium

somewhat later than originally planned.

The sixth subject arrived

two weeks after the others

when it was certain that he had fully

recovered from his self inflicted violence.

It will be sometime before

the data on this period

accumulated through electroencephalographic

information retrieval

can fully evaluated.

David Cronenberg

David Paul Cronenberg, CC OOnt FRSC (born March 15, 1943) is a Canadian filmmaker, actor and author. Cronenberg is one of the principal originators of what is commonly known as the body horror or visceral horror genre.

His films have won numerous awards, including the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his film Crash (1996). more…
