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.
The romance novel, often casually spotted in the hands of a woman on the subway or on a grandmother’s shelf amongst hundreds of titles, is an easily dismissed genre. However, to many, it’s more than a paltry fictional category, it’s a lifestyle... one that yields a reading speed of 3 to 5 books a week. This rapidly consumed genre is largely responsible for keeping the book industry alive. Love Between the Covers uncovers the camaraderie behind the romance novel’s authors and readers and the fight for deserved respect in the world of the book snobs.
