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.

Neil is a shy, lonely high school student. His creative outlet is writing erotic fan fiction. After Neil’s writing is ridiculed in school, a fellow student and fanfic writer, Julia, comes to his rescue. The pair form a friendship as Julia persuades Neil to submit his writing to an online forum. Things get complicated as Neil’s feelings for Julia and the forum’s moderator, Denis, grow. Slash is a funny, relatable coming of age film that is as charming as it is entertaining. - Lisa Cordes
