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.

Hank is stranded on a desert island and is about to lose all hope. But the arrival of a corpse with special life-saving abilities changes everything. Together, the two learn how to live again in this magical world. Swiss Army Man marks the feature directorial debut of music video directors Daniel Kwan and Birmingham native Daniel Scheinert (scheduled to attend), who bring this wild story to the screen with a winning mix of scatological humor and wide-eyed wonder. - Corey Craft
