Cofounder of filmfront and Inga in Pilsen , Malia Haines-Stewart has sought to bring her preferred modes of inquiry to a wider audience. Influenced by her college professor Gilberto Perez, head of the film history department at Sarah Lawrence College from 1983 to 2015, Haines-Stewart endeavors to create spaces where people from all backgrounds and levels of knowledge can engage in discussion about the questions put forth by these media.
It felt like in Chicago, what I understood of artists working here and people going to movies here, is that people genuinely collaborated more and there was space for that. And that really appealed to me. When I look back on it, it’s so much a quilt of relationships and some of the most incredible times. Some of my greatest joys are found in conversation, in a room of people who are open and excited about something.
But then seeing how the books just come and go and how there’s no actual stable space throughout the year to go and see all these things or connect with all these publishers. That just seemed like a blatant shame, because there’s so much desire for it in Chicago. And there are so many people in Chicago producing books that are so cool and so interesting, and we imagined what the bookstore would look like.
