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.

Through the lens of one man’s year-long journey coping with the selfishness and selflessness he experiences while providing care for his ailing mother, Other People drives its audience to look deeper at the bonds holding us together. Between snippets of simple, yet beautiful dialogue, the audience cries for the movie’s changing central relationships and laughs unashamedly (and often) in spite of the earnest subject matter. In the end, Other People authentically expresses the ups and downs and subsequent evolvement of a family affected by cancer. Perhaps above all else Molly Shannon delivers a standout performance. - Charlie Bice
