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.
Todd is nervous about introducing his girlfriend Lindsay to his family. Turns out, for good reason. His brother, who prefers to be called “Shonzi” after Arthur Fonzarelli, is a developmentally challenged troublemaker. A middle-aged virgin, he is loud, socially inappropriate, and horny as hell. Todd’s secrets and his new girlfriend are not safe with Shonzi. Filmmaker/actor Linas Phillips drew upon his experience as a caregiver for special needs children to craft his meticulous portrayal of Shonzi, a character who elicits sympathy and repulsion at the same time. - Charlie Sanders
