Lynne Ramsay is a Scottish film director, writer, producer, and cinematographer, best known for the feature films Ratcatcher (1999), Morvern Callar (2002), We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011), and You Were Never Really Here (2017). As of 2024, Ramsay is working on numerous feature films that have yet to be released.
Ramsay was born on 5 December 1969 in Glasgow. Her parents introduced her to movies at an early age through the work of Bette Davis, Nicolas Roeg, Alfred Hitchcock, and Michael Curtiz. She also credits the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz as an early inspiration.
Ramsay had an early passion for photography. She studied fine art and photography at Napier College, Edinburgh. In class she watched Maya Deren's film Meshes of the Afternoon and later cites it as a turning point in her career, inspiring her to apply to film school on a whim and encouraging her turn towards filmmaking.
In 1995, she graduated from the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield, England, where she specialised in cinematography and direction.
