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.

Life & Liberty

Accepting the warped societal norms of vicious surroundings takes the spotlight in this documentary. MAN ON FIRE is centered on the 2014 sacrificial suicide of preacher Charles Moore. The 79-year-old preacher returned to his hometown in Texas to execute a brutal self-immolation. Moore left only a rough outline
regarding his suicide, a note on the dashboard of his car. The documentary examines the problems of dealing with racial bigotry in Everywhere, America.
