Le cinéma même: (re)découvrir la collection filmfilm à la cinémathèque québécoise a catalogue raisonné of a film distributor’s collection
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis is an applied research project that takes the form of a catalogue raisonné of a section of the FilmFilm distribution center collection deposited in 1991 at the Cinémathèque québécoise. The aim of the project was to offer a detailed study of the collection to propose a reevaluation of the history of experimental cinema in Quebec during the 1960s and 1970s. This project is divided in three main sections. The first one is an accompanying text that includes a brief history of marginal filmmaking practices in Quebec and of FilmFilm, but also the methodology for the film inspections. The second part consists in the inspection forms for each reel of the collection and the last one is composed of the catalogue raisonné. The catalogue represents the main focus of the thesis by documenting each title and offering a description as well as illustrations for each film. Ce mémoire est un projet de recherche appliqué qui se présente sous la forme d’un catalogue raisonné d’une section de la collection de la maison de distribution FilmFilm ayant été déposée à la Cinémathèque québécoise en 1991. L’objectif de ce projet était d’en proposer une étude la plus étayée possible qui puisse conduire à une réévaluation de l'histoire du cinéma expérimental du Québec des années 1960 et 1970. Il comporte trois sections principales. La première est un texte d’accompagnement incluant un bref historique des pratiques cinématographiques marginales au Québec et de FilmFilm et détaillant également ma méthodologie pour l’inspection des copies de films. La seconde partie est constituée des formulaires d’inspection pour chaque bobine de la collection et la dernière comprend le catalogue raisonné, point culminant du travail qui documente chaque titre en offrant un portrait et des photographies de chacune des oeuvres.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
