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.
"Muck" Dir: Bruce Smolanoff RT 15 min. USA Mel, a 20-year old female open mic comedian, lives with her tabloid-obsessed mother in Queens. Abandoned by her father and born into a family of unfulfilled hopes and dreams, Mel is a bottled fight waiting to erupt.
A Wonderful Cloud Can exes ever really stay friends after a break-up? Or are they destined to remain mortal enemies until the end of time? A Wonderful Cloud answers “maybe” to both of these questions in its telling of the story of two ex-lovers (and business partners) who find themselves reunited for a weekend as they shift back and forth between love and hate in nearly every scene. It’s funny, it’s dark, it’s daring, and it’s true. A Wonderful Cloud premiered earlier this year at the South By Southwest Film Festival.
