Timothy Findley: Anatomy of a Writer is a Canadian television documentary film, directed by Terence Macartney-Filgate and released in 1992.[1] The film is a portrait of writer Timothy Findley, featuring both interview segments and scenes which try to illuminate his creative process by dramatizing several rewritten variations on his then-forthcoming theatrical play The Stillborn Lover as acted by William Hutt, Martha Henry and Susan Coyne.[2]

The film was broadcast on CBC Television on January 30, 1992, as an episode of Adrienne Clarkson Presents.[2]

The film won the Donald Brittain Award for best social or political documentary at the 7th Gemini Awards in 1993.[3]
