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.
Everybody has to make a choice. Are you going to do the right thing or the easy thing? That’s the question facing Tristan, a naive middle-school student coping with life in the inner city. His mother, desperate to keep her son out of prison like his father, signs him up for Boy Scouts, where he connects with a band of brothers. Soon after, he witnesses a murder and must choose between the code of the streets - keep quiet - or the Scouts’ code. Part of the Sidewalk family line-up, Troop 491, is rated PG-13.
