Split Decision
Split Decision
A Drama and Animation film released in 1979, Split Decision runs 15m and comes from the United States. Soap2Day lists it with Bill Brand directing and Carolee Schneemann and Nicky Paraiso in the cast. It holds 10/10 from 1 vote. This film is a scrambled narrative that illustrates, in soap opera fashion, life of artists in Lower Manhattan and at the same time dramatizes questions about the nature of filmic representation. Split decision is a boxing term used when the judges divide their votes in finding a winner. In this case the fight is between the two heroes of the film who are seen intermittently in a bar, negotiating a pick-up, and at home, breaking up in a domestic quarrel. The fight is also in the telling, between modes of conventional representation and modes of radical representation - between conventional continuity editing, and abstraction created through computer generated grids. The film features an appearance by Carolee Schneemann and digital imaging from before the era of personal computers.
