Crawley Films and Canada’s Audiovisual Infrastructure for Resource Extraction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
La compagnie Crawley Films, située à Ottawa, a été le principal producteur privé de films industriels et éducatifs au Canada entre 1939 et 1982. Alors que l’historiographie s’est penchée sur les œuvres éducatives et sur les incursions dans le domaine du long métrage de la compagnie, cet essai examine ses films commandités portant sur l’extraction des ressources naturelles. Pendant des décennies, Crawley Films a fourni aux réseaux audiovisuels du Canada et d’ailleurs un vaste catalogue qui faisait valoir les priorités nationales et celles des entreprises en matière d’utilisation des terres, de procédés industriels d’extraction et de colonisation. En se penchant sur l’industrie de l’aluminium et sur le film Generator 4 (1956), réalisé par Crawley Films pour Alcan, cet essai montre comment de telles productions, en films 16mm et 35mm, ont été reformatées selon les médias et les usages dans le cadre d’une infrastructure médiatique canadienne qui dépendait de l’infrastructure industrielle et en faisait la promotion.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
