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.
Are We Not Cats Directed by Xander Robin USA, Narrative, 78 minutes
As if losing his job and his girlfriend weren’t bad enough, sadsack New Yorker Eli starts living out of his only source of income, the delivery truck he uses for odd jobs, during one cold winter. On one delivery, he meets the elfin Anya, a young woman who shares his unusual compulsion for eating human hair. Trichophagia and squirmy desperation set the stage for this atypically touching love story and grimy body horror tale. - Corey Craft
