Another split-screen involving separate projectors (sometimes in combination with superimposed images): Abel Gance's Napolean.

Chelsea Girls is the most spectacular example -- of course that's actually
two separate projectors.
One very underrated and unfairly forgotten Hollywood example -- Robert
Aldrich's Twilight's Last Gleaming.
Also, Mike Figgis's Timecode in which the entire film consists of four
different image areas/story lines running constantly.

unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."
