The 18th Annual Sidewalk Film Festival August 26-28
Sidewalk Film Festival is produced by the Alabama Moving Image Association, a federally recognized 501c3 non-profit organization with a mission to inspire, encourage and support filmgoers, the city of Birmingham and the filmmaking community. In addition to hosting the annual film festival, we host monthly networking and educational events, a monthly documentary series, short film and screenwriting competitions, manage a youth board and a variety of other year-round programs.
Tickets sales to our events cover approximately 1/3 of our annual operating cash budget, so we depend on corporate sponsors, grant-making organizations and individuals like you to survive. if you’d like to know more about supporting Sidewalk, please contact us at sidewalk@sidewalkfest.com.
Using Sched.org as our primary scheduling tool, we are happy to offer four different ways to view this year’s lineup. By hovering your cursor over the "Schedule" tab below, you can take your pick of a Simple, Expanded, Grid, or By Venue view.
In this Alabama-shot comedy, perpetually broke Dicky St. John, proprietor of a failing Mobile greyhound track, makes a desperate bet with his sleazy used car dealer brother-in- law, Mak Hoffstadt, to save his business. The fates of both the track and car lot hinge on the outcome of one big dog race. But little does Dicky know, Mak has hired a pair of ne’er-do- wells and is stacking the deck with dirty tricks to ensure his victory. - Corey Craft
