Estimate shot-noise scale α and read-noise σ_read per ISO from calibration frames. During training, add heteroscedastic Gaussian noise N(0, α*I + σ_read^2) to simulated measurements; include a Kullback–Leibler term forcing predicted noise map to match calibrated prior.

Keep an eye on international events like the Smile International Film Festival for Children & Youth (SIFFCY) for a different kind of "good cinema" that still tackles heavy social issues. What’s Next for the Genre? sicflics
