Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter investigates the revival of the horror genre and the increased presence of First Nations characters (and directors) in contemporary Quebec fiction filmmaking. Bill Marshall examines two recent representatives of the “zombie apocalypse” horror subgenre, Québécois filmmaker Robin Aubert’s French-language <italic>Les affamés</italic> ( <italic>Ravenous</italic> , 2017) and Mi'kmaq director Jeff Barnaby’s English-language <italic>Blood Quantum</italic> (2019). Through a close reading of the two films, the author argues that they both offer allegorical takes on traumas experienced by individuals and groups, reveal connections between alienation, memory, and wider collective identifications (be they Québécois, Mi'kmaq, or other Indigenous American populations), and ponder the relationship between humans and the fragile ecosystems of our planet.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
