Lynne Stopkewich (born 1964) is a Canadian film director perhaps best known for the controversial film Kissed. Her most recent film is The Shields Stories. She has also directed Suspicious River and a few episodes of the TV series Bliss, Da Vinci's Inquest, The L Word and This Is Wonderland. Stopkewich's approach to the gaze in film is in part informed by feminist film theory.[1]
