Lindsay McIntyre

​​Lindsay McIntyre engages filmmaking as a material practice. For over twenty-five years, she has experimented with manipulating the properties of celluloid – including handmaking her own film stock with caribou gelatin – creating a diverse body of films grounded in labour, collaboration and process. Working between documentary, experimental film, expanded cinema, and performance, McIntyre reflects on displacement from Inuit Nunangat, place- and land-based methodologies, Inuit community, and survivance, often in conversation with her family history.
