Writer, filmmaker, journalist, entertainer, mother, Lindalee Tracey was one of the brightest and liveliest
Canadian artists. The underlying theme of her work was to champion those who are often ignored,
underestimated and forgotten and to celebrate those who rise above disadvantage.
Lindalee passed away on October 19, 2006 at age 49, after a five year battle with breast cancer.
Award-winning director/writer/narrator of 14 documentary films, author of 3 books, writer of
numerous magazine articles, newspaper stories and radio documentaries, Lindalee Tracey
was a multi-talented whirlwind. Some of her best-known films include: “Bhopal: The Search for Justice”, “The Anatomy of Burlesque”, “Toronto: City of Dreams”, the 52-part series “A Scattering of Seeds: The Creation of Canada” (4 of which she directed and all of which she produced),
and her remarkable first film, Genie-nominated “Abby, I Hardly Knew ‘Ya”.
To honour her life and celebrate her legacy, Lindalee’s colleagues, friends and family have created
The Lindalee Tracey Award to be presented each year at the Hot Docs International Documentary Film Festival in Toronto, to an emerging Canadian filmmaker who works in the spirit of Lindalee - with passion, humour, a strong sense of social justice and a personal point of view.
The winner is awarded $5000.00 plus a beautiful commissioned glass sculpture.
