her silent life.

Three generations of women are revealed in this intuitive journey into one family's past. Crafting together analogue film techniques with personal interview, director Lindsay McIntyre creates an impressionistic exploration of her mixed Inuit heritage and the controversies surrounding her ancestry. (ImagineNATIVE)

The screening of her silent life will be followed by a 16mm film performance. A Q&A with Lindsay will follow the performance.

Lindsay McIntyre is a film artist from Edmonton of Inuit/Settler decent. Her process-based practice is largely analog and deals with themes of portraiture, place, form and personal histories.  Working primarily with 16mm film and experimental, handmade and documentary techniques, she also makes her own 16mm film, hand-coated with silver gelatin emulsion. Interested simultaneously in the apparatus of cinema, portraiture, representation and personal histories, she bridges gaps in collective experience and remains dedicated to integrating theory and practice, form and content. She was a member of The Double Negative Collective, the recipient of the Canada Council’s Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award for Excellence in Media Arts for 2013 and a REVEAL Indigenous Arts Award from the Hnatyshyn Foundation in 2017.  She holds an MFA in Film Production from Concordia and a BFA in Painting and Drawing from The U of A and currently teaches Film + Screen Arts at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. Lindsay will be in Halifax in May and early June, taking part in an artist residency through AFCOOP.
