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.
We're proud to show this unlikely buddy comedy in which a newly released conman returns to Compton to try to win back his girl. Ashley, brilliantly played by Andre Royo (Bubbles from The Wire), goes to great lengths to better himself. He takes remedial classes, befriends a kid with a truck and starts making money by hauling away broken refrigerators, but the house of cards he put together begins to fall apart. Full of laughs, but also deeply rooted in humanity, Hunter Gatherer proves first time director Joshua Locy is somebody to keep an eye out for. - Kyle McKinnon
