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.
Documentaries are meant to raise questions, but they’re also often meant to make you question the chaos that is life. In Dead Hands Dig Deep, the chaotic life being documented is that of ex-Kettle Cadaver singer Edwin Borsheim, once known for his bizarre stage antics and brutal self-mutilation. As 19yearold firsttime director Jai Love makes clear, Edwin’s onstage persona is much more than an act. Warning: This film is not for everyone. Graphic footage shows blood being spilled in all kinds of ways, which once seen, can never be unseen. - Charlie Sanders
