  • Hot Under the Collar

    “Hot Under the Collar” is an experimental video that examines the imagery of the Kodak “Shirley” test patterns. An examination of the “male gaze,” the evolution of film and video, and obvious formal considerations constitute the foundation for “Hot Under the Collar”.

  • Down Payment on a Dead Horse

    “Down Payment on a Dead Horse” begins as a formal portrait of the Saskatchewan winter landscape, and becomes an examination of masculinity (shot on Super 8, 16mm and VHS). Here, I am focused on the inherent innocence that lies within these family images, and I am also drawn to the darker implications of them as well. In contrast, the winter landscapes are meant to be in direct opposition to the lush color, and familiar poses that have become synonymous with old Super 8 “home movies.”

  • Dead Horse Point

    “Dead Horse Point” is a film that expresses my feelings of ambivalence for the western genre, and America as a nation. It essentially deals with the notion of “the old west,” “the frontier,” the blurred line between historical fact and myth, the role of Hollywood in the historical process, the importance of celebrity in America, and finally the influence that the western landscape has had in defining the mythology of “the old west.”

  • where she stood in the first place.

    Situated at the geographic centre of Canada, Baker Lake, Nunavut is the only inland settlement in the Canadian Arctic. Fixing its gaze on this stark landscape, McIntyre’s haunting and sparse film uses hand-wrought black-and-white 16mm film in a meditation on place and personal histories.

  • Burning Star

    Dedicated to my father, who asked that I make a more colourful work. Made during my residency at the now defunct Experimental Television Center, “Burning Star” is a colourful implo/explosion of the twelve sided star. The title refers to Kenji Onishi’s “A Burning Star.” – Joshua Gen Solondz Winner Chris Frayne Award for Best Animated Film, Ann Arbor Film Festival, MIchigan, U.S.A. (2013)
