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.
Using Sched.org as our primary scheduling tool, we are happy to offer four different ways to view this year’s lineup. By hovering your cursor over the "Schedule" tab below, you can take your pick of a Simple, Expanded, Grid, or By Venue view.
Shut Up Anthony Directed by Kyle Eaton USA, Narrative, 92 minutes
The neurotic Anthony talks too much. This is one reason that within a matter of days, he alienates his girlfriend and loses his advertising job. So he drives to the timeshare cabin his family co-owns in northern Oregon, only to inadvertently reunite with a childhood friend, Tim, who’s going through his own crisis. The emotional core of what’s eating Anthony is revealed through the course of this poignant, bitingly funny dramedy. - Corey Craft
