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.
A cross between a Civil War-era home invasion thriller and a female-led Western, The Keeping Room stands as one of the most powerful and exciting narratives to come out this year. Three women (two sisters and a slave), left to care for their Georgia homestead, are forced to fight for their lives as two of Sherman’s scouts go rogue and terrorize them in the still of night. Gritty yet equally poetic, The Keeping Room delivers from the beginning to the very poignant end.
