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.
Young and Innocent Directed by Jesse Robinson USA, Narrative, 90 minutes Saturday, August 26th 10:00 AM
When a tryst with her writing camp counselor goes sour, young poet Marion runs away to a nearby motel. There, she finds herself drawn to the withdrawn young clerk, Norman. But her haunting dreams of a missing local girl seem to indicate that Norman is more dangerous than he appears. This Hitchcock riff captures the dangerous allure of youthful passion in a dreamy romantic thriller that transcends mere homage. - Corey Craft
