Sergio Mims and Jacqueline Stewart speak onstage at a screening of"Lilies of the Field" during the 2022 TCM Classic Film Festival at the Hollywood Legion Theater on April 22, 2022 in Los Angeles, California.
“That was one of his Cinderella moments,” said Barbara Allen, filmmaker and longtime producer/engineer at WTTW-TV. She knew Mims for 40 years. “We can thank Jackie Stewart for that. She brought him out. And he couldn’t wait to do it again next year.” The Gene Siskel Film Center’s 28th Black Harvest Film Festival, to be held this year Nov. 4-27, will be the first without Mims. An offshoot of the Blacklight festival cofounded by Mims in the early 1980s, Black Harvest will be dedicated this year to Mims’ memory.Black Harvest,” said de St. Aubin, who met Mims in 2003. “Other people moved out of town, to different things, but Sergio was a huge part of the Chicago film community to the end.
In 2009, Tambay A. Obenson launched the Shadow and Act website devoted to Black cinema, with Mims a key critical and curatorial voice. “Every African-American filmmaker in the world was into Shadow and Act,” Johnson-Cochran said. “We couldn’t wait to get interviewed by Shadow and Act; I couldn’t wait for Sergio to call me. They had a huge influence on us all.”
