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.

Returning to his hometown for a funeral, Peter loses his wallet and is forced to turn to former friend and neighbor, ne'er-do-well Donald. Peter is thrust into the livelihood of Donald’s deplorable situations while attempting to feign excitement for his friend’s desperate needs for attention and long lost friendship. Having only Donald’s assistance for food and transportation to rely on, Peter must curb his critiques of the town that he thought he had escaped. Jesse Wakeman delivers a perfect deadpan portrayal that dovetails harmoniously with Kris Avedisian’s hilarious standout performance. Donald Cried is not to be missed, especially for fans of the Coen Brothers and Jim Jarmusch. - Charlie Sanders
