Cronenberg previously dealt with the subject of telepathy in one of his earlier, more experimental, short films: "Stereo" (1969, Canada). "Stereo" is 63 minutes long and was shot without direct sound on black-and-white 35mm stock; a voice-over narration was written and added to the film after editing. Its story unfolds in an undesignated year in the future at a clinical institution established for the study of telepathic powers. Various cold-blooded experiments take place in this eerie institute, and the film can be seen as a deadpan satire on the humorless solemnity of scientific language and methods. As of 1993, "Stereo" was not available on video.
