The Lindalee Tracey Award honours an emerging Canadian filmmaker with a passionate point of view, a strong sense of social justice, and joie de vivre.
Lindalee Tracey was an award-winning filmmaker, author, and entertainer, as well as a beloved wife and mother. Through her extensive body of work and indefatigable personality, Lindalee brought great joy to the world. She was passionate about bringing issues of social justice into her work, and championed people who are often ignored, underestimated or forgotten. Equally, she celebrated those who rise above disadvantage.
Lindalee passed away on October 19, 2006, at age 49, after a five-year battle with breast cancer. At the time of her passing, Lindalee’s family, friends and admirers created this award in her honour.
The Lindalee Tracey Award is given annually at the Hot Docs Awards Presentation. Past winners included Rodrigo Barriuso and Antoine Bourges (2013), Jasmine Oore (2012), Alexandre Hamel (2011), Philip Lyall and Nimisha Mukerji (2010), Laura Bari and Will Inrig (2009), Elizabeth Lazebnick (2008), and Trevor Anderson (2007).
The winner will receive $5000 in cash from the Lindalee Tracey Fund, $5000 in post-production services from Technicolor and a beautiful hand-blown glass sculpture by Andrew Kuntz, specially commissioned to honour Lindalee.
