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.

Narrative
Directed By Isabella Eklöf
Run Time 90 Minutes
Denmark/Netherlands/Sweden

Kingpin Michael and his girlfriend Sacha vacation with their mob family in Turkey. Ice cream outings and poolside afternoons are frequently interrupted by criminal upsets, but when Sacha befriends a fellow vacationer things go way off course. HOLIDAY is a slap in the face of a film. In poignant juxtaposition, verminous content is strung across gorgeously sterile cinematography. Challenging, intensely relevant, and provocative as hell – the film doesn’t just comment on the times, it rubs the audience’s face in them, holding us all responsible. Size XXXL trigger warning.
