Splitstream 1978

Directed by Stephen X. Arthur

“It may be important to note that I received a 1978 Canada Council Film Production Grant for an experimental "frame of reference" film, Splitstream, before I went to film school. For this film I invented a means of post-synchronization to create an "impossible" simultaneous viewing of two contrasting points of view: an objective long shot following a character, and a handheld POV of the same character in the same scene—a unique use of horizontal split screen" -SA
