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.
Set in New Jersey in 1990, Stinking Heaven depicts life in a sober living environment. Through constant role-play, the members’ stories are told, and through communication and togetherness, they seem to be on the path to betterment. Everything changes when a new member moves in and the lives of the inhabitants begin to unravel. Through voyeuristic vignettes that stitch together the relationships that exist between each of the group’s members, Stinking Heaven brilliantly shows how self-destructive behavior and manipulation can send ripples through lives interconnected through a shared experience of addiction.
