Abstract
Distributed by Grasshopper Film, 12 East 32nd St., 4th Floor, New York, NY 10016Produced by Rocío Barba Fuentes and Giacomo NudiDirected by Oksana Karpovych2024, Streaming, 93 mins Intercepted is an artistic documentary portrayal of the Russian invasion of Ukraine through a combination of audio phone calls from Russian soldiers to their friends and families back home, and video of the destruction throughout the Ukraine. The calls provide a shocking window into the level of propaganda employed by Russia and the openness callers had when talking about potential war crimes they committed or witnessed. However, the choice to not include any follow-up or reaction to the calls encourages the viewer to continue listening without digesting what is being said. This ultimately lessens the impact of the calls as they get buried and replaced by subsequent calls. The visuals are interesting but, apart from one segment, have no clear connection to the audio being played. The calls illustrate how important ordinary creature comforts like ice cream, juice, and being able to bathe can be to soldiers, and how basic necessities like shoes and T-shirts are being looted. The viewer is treated to a different perspective on the war then what is frequently reported and a snapshot of how the destruction has impacted the lives of ordinary Ukrainians. This film is certainly worth watching but the viewer needs to go in prepared. The film is very artistic and lacks narration or context around the audio recordings or locations that are being shown. This film is an hour and half long but could have been cut in half without losing any visual or audio content. The extended stretches of silence between audio recordings and slow rotation between visuals would make it a challenging film to show in a class while, the lack of any accompanying context would require extensive supplemental instruction. Incorporating select clips of the audio recordings into a class could be impactful, but as a whole I would rate Intercepted as recommended with reservations. The film would need to be accompanied by supplemental material.

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
