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.
“My name is Allie Green. I’m sixteen. And this is my suicide tape.” This begins Allie’s deeply personal video diary, chronicling the next few months of her life leading up to that inevitable day. Anathema Arienette assembles her daily entries and taps into the world of a girl trapped in the clutches of depression. Having lost touch with friends and living a fear-driven relationship with her father, Allie’s camcorder provides the only means of expressing herself. Deeply emotional and effective, Anethema cuts to the core of the pains of adolescence.
