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.
Alabama The Beautiful showcases the impact of six artisan businesses on Alabama. The companies range from Good People Brewing Company in Birmingham, AL to Belle Chevre, a goat cheese store, in Elkmont, AL. Alabama The Beautiful demonstrates the impact of handmade goods on eroding negative stereotypes about the state, and emphasizes how local craftspeople have rejuvenated their communities. R.C. Hagans, an Opelika based aerosol paint artist, Florence’s IDYLLWILDE, Wood Studio based in Arely, and Birmingham’s Freedom Soap Company are also profiled.
