Transnational Kinship, Diasporic Mourning and Belonging in the Canadian Animation World: The Moving Images of Leslie Supnet’s <i>gains + losses</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Winnipeg-born artist Leslie Supnet is a second-generation Filipina whose 2011 animated film, gains + losses, transforms the act of her mourning. Supnet uses her affective responses to the death of her aunt and subsequent suicide of her cousin to construct diasporic intimacy. She confronts this devastating loss through playfulness and humour, a queer aesthetic strategy that I call “moving images”: animated art created from transformed affective responses that arise from diasporic movements, intimacies and traumas. Read alongside her oral history and analyzed in light of her experiences of discontent, her animated film reveals how the intimacies of her life experiences have manifested in her art. Thus, the animation can be seen as a queer art form that captures her productive mobilization of discontent in which she transforms trauma into healing and ultimately denaturalizes normative notions of kinship and belonging.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
