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.
In the Basement weaves a tunnel through the underground sanctuaries where everyday people conceal their obsessions. A teen drummer. The owner of a tiny swimming pool. A women with a fake baby. A taxidermy enthusiast. A Nazi memorabilia collector and his brass band. An African big game hunter. An S&M mistress and her love slave. A masochist. A fetishist. An opera singer with a shooting range. Just as revealing as the dives into their basements are the brief insights into the subjects’ lives above ground.
