ABOUT JACQUELINE'S WORK
Jacqueline Stewart is a film scholar, archivist, and curator illuminating the contributions that overlooked Black filmmakers and communities of spectators have made to cinema’s development as an art form. With a body of work that spans scholarship on African American film cultures, film preservation efforts, and curation of public programs, Stewart fills critical gaps in the history of American media.

In her landmark study, Migrating to the Movies: Cinema and Black Urban Modernity (2005), Stewart paints a nuanced picture of Black spectatorship of the silent screen in Chicago at the time of the Great Migration. She maps the ways in which Chicago’s Black neighborhoods formed a distinctive cinema culture that shaped the creation and consumption of race films. These early twentieth-century films were produced outside of the Hollywood studio system for Black audiences and featured Black casts. Stewart has continued to explore movie-going practices, alternative American cinemas, and independent systems of film production in numerous scholarly and public-facing endeavors. She conceived of and directs the South Side Home Movie Project, which preserves, digitizes, and screens amateur films shot by Chicago residents. The small-gauge films cover periods from the 1920s to the 1980s and offer audiences an intimate record of everyday life on the South Side, particularly among Black communities, as well as insight into how these communities see themselves and record their lives. Stewart has also broadened awareness of and access to the films of the L.A. Rebellion, a movement of Black filmmakers who studied at UCLA’s School of Theater, Film, and Television in the 1970s and 1980s. She co-curated a preservation initiative and touring film program and co-edited an accompanying anthology, L.A. Rebellion: Creating a New Black Cinema (2015). Her archiving efforts and essays for this project document how the filmmakers (including Charles Burnett, Julie Dash, and Haile Gerima, among others) aimed to create more authentic narratives of the Black experience in response to distorted and marginalizing portrayals in mainstream American media.

Since 2019, Stewart has hosted Silent Sunday Nights on the Turner Classic Movies network, where she presents the cultural significance and historical context of featured silent films. In 2020, she became chief artistic and programming officer at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the largest U.S. institution devoted to the arts, sciences, and artists of moviemaking. By bridging academic and public realms, Stewart is spotlighting the community dynamics that make cinema meaningful and ensuring that visual histories that might otherwise have remained in the shadows have a place in the public imagination.

关于杰奎琳的工作
杰奎琳-斯图尔特是一位电影学者、档案员和策展人，她阐明了被忽视的黑人电影制作人和观众群体对电影作为一种艺术形式的发展所做出的贡献。通过对非裔美国人电影文化的学术研究、电影保护工作和公共项目的策划，斯图尔特填补了美国媒体史上的重要空白。

在她具有里程碑意义的研究报告《移居电影：电影和黑人城市的现代性》（2005年）中，斯图尔特描绘了一幅在大迁徙时期芝加哥黑人观看无声银幕的细致画面。她描绘了芝加哥的黑人社区如何形成独特的电影文化，塑造了种族电影的创作和消费。这些二十世纪早期的电影是在好莱坞制片厂系统之外为黑人观众制作的，并以黑人演员为特色。斯图尔特在众多的学术和公共活动中继续探索观影实践、替代的美国电影院和独立的电影制作系统。她构思并指导南区家庭电影项目，该项目保存、数字化并放映由芝加哥居民拍摄的业余电影。这些小尺寸的电影涵盖了从20世纪20年代到80年代的各个时期，为观众提供了南区日常生活的亲密记录，特别是在黑人社区，并深入了解这些社区如何看待自己和记录自己的生活。斯图尔特还扩大了对洛杉矶反叛运动电影的认识和访问，这是一场黑人电影人的运动，他们在20世纪70年代和80年代在加州大学洛杉矶分校的戏剧、电影和电视学院学习。她共同策划了一个保护计划和巡回电影项目，并共同编辑了一个配套的文集《洛杉矶叛乱》。创造一个新的黑人电影（2015）。她为这个项目所做的存档工作和文章记录了电影制作人（包括查尔斯-伯内特、朱莉-达什和海尔-杰里玛等人）如何旨在创造更真实的黑人经验的叙述，以回应美国主流媒体的扭曲和边缘化的描述。

自2019年以来，斯图尔特在特纳经典电影网络上主持了沉默的周日之夜，在那里她介绍了特色无声电影的文化意义和历史背景。2020年，她成为美国电影学院博物馆的首席艺术和节目官员，这是美国最大的致力于电影制作的艺术、科学和艺术家的机构。通过连接学术和公共领域，斯图尔特正在关注使电影有意义的社区动态，并确保那些可能在其他情况下一直处于阴影中的视觉历史在公众想象中占有一席之地。
