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.
Taking place in the exciting world of southern dirt track racing, Alabama Dirt tells the story of Ty Hargrove, a poor country boy who dreams of becoming a dirt track champion. But becoming a champion takes money and money is something Tyler does not have. Against the odds Ty must beat the local, rich boy champion Snake Turner for a chance at glory. Shot in Mobile, Alabama and starring Michael Roark, Leslie Easterbrook and country music artist Tracy Lawrence, Sidewalk is proud to host the premiere of Alabama Dirt. - Lisa Cordes
