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.
Until 2001, photography was banned in Afghanistan under the Taliban regime. After the ban was lifted, a small community of photographers emerged, taking it to the streets to capture life that had been veiled for years from the outside world. Frame By Frame follows four photojournalists as they undergo enormous risks and encounter devastating circumstances in post-Taliban society. From suicide bombings to violence against women, the film expertly captures the chaos of post-war Afghanistan and the bravery of those willing to be at the front lines.
