Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter examines the controversy surrounding the release of Catherine Breillat’s Fat Girl (2001) in Ontario, Canada. After refusing classification to this critically lauded film on the grounds that it constituted “child pornography” (underage characters were shown engaged in sexual activity), the Ontario Film Review Board drew scrutiny from the Canadian press, as well as several lawyers, filmmakers, and politicians who condemned the apparent lack of discretion in downgrading sophisticated artistic expression to the level of rough pornography. The lenient treatment of the film elsewhere, internationally as well as in neighbouring Canadian provinces, exacerbated the perception of the board as outmoded in its reasoning. As an evidently direct result, the OFRB eventually overturned its decision and amended its policies to limit its own ability to regulate mainstream narrative cinema.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
