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.

Good Funk follows the lives of Afro-Caribbean immigrants living in New York. Akifah struggles to make ends meet when she meets Terence, a successful businessman. Joyce, a talented singer, pursues her passion with color and flair while living with Terence. Their lives intersect and intertwine in this drama of human endurance and the forging of family wherever you can find it. Impressively, Good Funk is the outcome of an educational program that teaches young Brooklynites filmmaking. -Joi Tribble
