Lindsay McIntyre

[RSVP](https://thecinematheque.ca/films/2025/lindsay-mcintyre "button")

Please join us for a screening of works by Lindsay McIntyre at The Cinematheque on the occasion of McIntyre’s exhibition *Distance Between Objects, Time Between Events*. A conversation between McIntyre and CAG curator Godfre Leung will follow the screening.

This program features experimental shorts by Lindsay McIntyre that each explore what was left behind by her great-grandmother Kumaa’naaq, and what is missing. *Seeing Her* is a silent portrait depicting the beaded front panel of Kumaa’naaq’s amauti. Edited in-camera on hand-processed Super 16, the hypnotic animation parallels the abundant skill, technique and labour of the parka’s making with McIntyre’s studied, hands-on analog filmmaking. *though she never spoke, this is where her voice would have been.* features a Fisher Price audiotape recording made by McIntyre at age eight. Addressed repeatedly in the looping soundtrack but never actually heard is Kumaa’naaq’s voice, which had been inadvertently taped over in the recording, tragically erasing the only known time-based record of her. The haunting narrative documentary *her silent life.* traces the deep and unspoken intergenerational resonances of Kumaa’naaq’s displacement from the North and the disappearance of McIntyre’s grandmother Marguerite from their family.

Tom Hsu (b. 1988, Hsinchu, Taiwan) is an artist currently residing and working in unceded Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh territories in Vancouver.

His work has been exhibited at numerous galleries, including the Libby Leshgold Gallery, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, Pendulum Gallery, Centre A, Telephone Gallery, Macaulay & Co.
