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.
The Lyric Theatre is sponsored by the City of Birmingham.
Attention die-hard movie fanatics: this one’s for you! Brian De Palma, the wickedly-inspired director of Carrie, Scarface, Dressed to Kill, and many other masterpieces, sits down with Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow to candidly discuss his entire career in cinema. This is De Palma unfiltered and totally off-the- cuff. Showcased with tons of clips from both his own movies as well as those that shaped his artistic vision, the documentary serves as the definitive checklist of must-see films from this surprisingly under-celebrated auteur. - Kyle McKinnon
