Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Three pivotal productions in the filmography of F. Budge Crawley, Judith Crawley, and Crawley Films are set on the St. Lawrence River and its islands: L’île d’Orléans (1938), Alexis Tremblay: Habitant (1943), and the series Au pays de Neufve-France (1959–1960). The analysis of these productions reveals a significant turning point in the representation of the world, and more specifically of vernacular languages, in cinema. The amateur travelogue L’île d’Orléans presents an external perspective on the island’s inhabitants, whose voices are entirely absent. Alexis Tremblay: Habitant begins to grant a certain place to the language of the communities living along the shores of the St. Lawrence, but subordinates it to the discourse of elites. With the first episode of Au pays de Neufve-France, “La traverse d’hiver à l’île aux Coudres,” however, the hierarchy of voices fades and the vernacular language becomes central and structuring. In so doing, a new cinema capable of documenting the world “from below” fully takes shape.

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.
