Abstract
In this chapter, Mercédès Baillargeon examines the representation of same-sex desire in three films by critically acclaimed Québécois auteur Xavier Dolan: <italic>Tom à la ferme</italic> ( <italic>Tom at the farm</italic> , 2013), <italic>Juste la fin du monde</italic> ( <italic>It’s Only the End of the World</italic> , 2016) and the English-language <italic>The Death and Life of John F. Donovan</italic> (2018), all of which are coproductions, the first two between France and Canada, the the third between Canada and the UK. The author analyses the way queerness is depicted in those works across time and national borders as well as the complicated positioning of Dolan himself (who in 2012 famously refused the Queer Palm at Cannes for <italic>Laurence Anyways</italic> ) as a globally celebrated queer filmmaker.

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 it
