Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Distributed by Grasshopper Film, 12 East 32nd St., 4th Floor, New York, NY 10016Produced by Sara Bernstein, Kimberley Doebereiner, Conor Fetting-Smith, et al.Directed by Ryan White2021, Streaming, 28 mins Coded: The Hidden Love of J.C. Leyendecker is a documentary short film that details the impact of Leyendecker’s life and work on advertising, but also on representation of queer identities in public spaces. Using the voices of historians, a creative director and a trans model, this 29-minute documentary gives insight into a man who is responsible for many of the images we look back on today as representative of classic Americana; he was even a predecessor and mentor to Norman Rockwell. While this is a biographical film, it also offers a message for those of us watching in the present, and those who will watch it in the future – though the message may feel as though it is too late in coming. When Leyendecker came to the United States, it was on the heels of Oscar Wilde’s imprisonment for being gay. When Leyendecker dies, it is in the era of McCarthyism and a period of strictures on “other-ness.” Just as Leyendecker used his male lover as a model for arrow shirt collars, and used gay-coded imagery in his advertisements, so too did Subaru use a vanity license plate to signal to lesbians in the 1990s. Through Coded, we are reminded of the cyclical nature of the world, that if we do not learn from the past, then we are simply going to go around the same wheel once more. Above all, we are shown images of joy at representation, and reminded that people succeed when they can live their truth, and when they find themselves reflected in the world around them. It may feel as if Coded ends on too positive a note, and when this was released in 2021, we were not facing some of the challenges that exist in 2022. While this does not discredit the film, it does leave it as a place to start a discussion with a class, and to prompt the question, “What next?” Awards:Winner, Best Documentary Short, Tribeca Film Festival; Winner, Best Documentary Short Film, Calgary International Film Festival; Winner, Best Short Award, OUTshine Film Festival Fort Lauderdale; Winner, Alternative Spirit Award (Documentary) First Prize, Rhode Island International Film Festival

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.
