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.
KEDi is a part of the Sidewalk Family Film Festival sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama
This screening is sponsored by MDM Design Studio.
KEDi provides a glimpse into the lives of the thousands of cats who have claimed the city of Istanbul as their territory for hundreds of years. Neither wild nor tame, these cats are free to roam in and out of people’s homes and lives. The filmmakers follow seven cats, providing a glimpse into the hidden world to which they belong. The documentary is a heartwarming exploration of the complex, centuries-long relationship between the cats and human denizens of this ancient city. KEDi is part of the family line-up, while subtitled; it is very much a visual story for all ages. - Rachel Ahrnsen
