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.

A peek into the life of a New York City bachelor, this drama depicts the short-lived romantic episodes of James, who searches for a connection from woman to woman. Though he often comes up short, he leaves each encounter changed by having known each woman, however briefly. Structured as a series of vignettes, Long Nights, Short Mornings is a tour of urban nightlife and a portrait of being surrounded by people, but still completely alone. The film premiered at the 2016 South by Southwest Film Festival.
