The 17th Annual Sidewalk Film Festival August 28-30
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.
Darkness descends on Eagle Pass, Texas and Piedras Negras, Mexico as the violent activities of Mexican drug cartels begin to disrupt the harmony between the two small border towns. Cowboys and lawmen on both sides of the Rio Grande bear witness to the harsh, new realities of modern times infringing on their previously idyllic existence. Tensions (and fences) rise as the crossfire escalates. With their signature verité style, the Ross Brothers capture a dreamlike vision of the frontier and a story that plays out like a true Western.
