Lindsay McIntyre is a filmmaker and artist of Inuit/Qallunaat descent who works primarily with analogue film exploring place-based knowledge, portraiture, and personal histories.

Her recent short drama NIGIQTUQ ᓂᒋᖅᑐᖅ (The South Wind) won the Best Live Action Short award at imagineNATIVE and is nominated for an Academy Award. Her current project, Tuktuit, will be an experimental documentary that considers the intricate interconnection between caribou, lichen, Inuit, and habitat disruption. After more than 40 short films, she is developing her first feature The Words We Can’t Speak, which won the Women in the Director’s Chair Feature Film Award (worth $250K) and tells the story of her maternal grandmother's departure from Nunavut in 1938. She is a Fellow of the Sundance Institute (2024), Forge Projects (2024) and Cousin Collective (2021) and is/has been part several artist-run film labs and collectives including IRIS, Double Negative, EMO, and an international consortium of emulsioneers.
