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.
Foster Kalt, legendary puzzle game maker and infamous recluse, breaks a four-year vow of silence with the public to reflect on his dark and troubled life. Agreeing to sit down for an interview, Kalt prepares to reveal his next gift to the world. Set throughout the late 60s and 70s in an alternate history of the modern century, The Arbalest’s daring visual style melds retro design and pop culture cues to great effect. Its excellent musical score perfectly captures the themes of romantic obsession and violence. - Kyle McKinnon
