PHILM

(video, read through critical theory)

A CLI that uploads video to a multimodal model and returns structured philosophical readings. Pairs hard structural constraints (Pydantic schemas) with rich interpretive prompts: the same schema can be filled by Baudrillard or Mulvey, the same footage read through Virilio or Benjamin. Theory, parameterized.

Schema-validated output keeps readings comparable across theorists.
