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.
Growing up can be confusing and humiliating. Moving to a new city can be scary. Starting your first period in front of your new classmates can be downright traumatizing. You could say Bird is having a rough week. Especially when her pot smoking, impulsive mother constantly adds to the chaos instead of being a source of solace. Through her mother’s network of strong female friends, long suffering boyfriend and Bird’s own resilient spirit, Bird and her mother both starts to learn what becoming a woman actually means. - Lisa Cordes
