Emelyn Stuart

Owner & Founder, Stuart Cinema & Café

Emelyn Stuart is a visionary entrepreneur and cultural trailblazer, known as the owner of Stuart Cinema & Café — the first Afro-Latina-owned independent movie theater in New York City. What began as a single-screen theater and café in Greenpoint, Brooklyn has been a vibrant community hub for independent film, festivals, and inclusive programming, reflecting Stuart’s long-standing commitment to accessible cinema and creative expression. Now, she’s preparing to expand her impact by relocating the business to Long Island City with a new venue that will feature two auditoriums and a sit-down restaurant, further cementing her role as a leader and innovator in cinema and the arts.
