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.
This film is a part of the Life & Liberty Sidebar sponsored by EBSCO.
Set in 1968 at Meharry Medical College in Tennessee, two men embark on their medical educations. Eli Rosenberg is a Jewish man who experiences prejudice from both his peers and his society for the first time. Michael Debois is the son of a successful doctor who must face his father's brilliance and expectations to become his own man. Their education becomes more than just a degree as they forge friendships, overcome rivalries, and discover a passion to serve all men regardless of skin color. Service To Man was shot primarily in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. - Joi Tribble
