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.
Possibly the most terrifying film in the 2015 Sidewalk line-up, Who Took Johnny investigates the spellbinding 30 year-old cold case related to the disappearance of Johnny Gosch. The first missing child to appear on a milk carton, Johnny, disappeared, while on his paper route, in the early morning hours of September 5th 1982. For 3 decades Johnny’s mother, Noreen Gosch, has searched for her son, piecing together clues, weeding through conspiracy theories and uncovering faulty police work. Captivating, shocking, jaw dropping, respectfully made and downright creepy, Who Took Johnny, made John Waters’ ‘10 Best Films’ of 2014 list.
