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.
Mustang Island Directed by Craig Elrod USA, Narrative, 86 minutes
Easily one of 2017’s funniest indie comedies, Mustang Island begins just as Bill gets dumped by his girlfriend. Out of his mind and determined to win her back, he drags his pals to a quiet off-season Texas beach town in an effort to find her. Unable to track her down, the crew gets wrapped up with jet skis, bottomless mimosas and palling around with the locals. With brilliant performances and sharp comical timing, this is one not to miss. - Kyle McKinnon
