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.
Blood, Sweat, and Beer explores the booming craft beer industry. The filmmakers visit large, nationally known breweries, but the heart of the film lies in its focus on two start-ups and their struggles. The Brew Gentlemen of Braddock, PA, worked with local government officials to find a home for their brewery and bring life back to a once vibrant steel town. Shorebilly Brewing of Ocean City, MD faced legal troubles that forced them to change their name, putting them in serious debt. If you're one of the millions of fans of craft beer you do not want to miss Blood, Sweat, and Beer at Sidewalk 2015.
