Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This essay examines the relationship of Crawley Films to Expo 67 and its organizing committee, the Canadian Corporation for the 1967 World Exhibition. Its focus is on one title in particular, Expo 67 (René Bonnière, 1965), which was released two years before Expo 67 opened, and was specifically designed to entice investors and exhibitors into seizing upon the opportunities created by the exhibition. This idiosyncratic short, sponsored by the Traders Finance Corporation of Toronto, is a striking example of how specialists in industrial films, such as Crawley Films, made significant contributions to how Montreal was represented and understood during this period, as well as how such films sometimes had a direct bearing on the city’s dramatic redevelopment.

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. 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.
