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.

Documentary
Directed By Sarah Kerruish and Matt Maude
Run Time 90 Minutes
USA

Sometimes the engineers of the future don’t always get the glory. Such was the case of the visionaries at General Magic, in which former Apple technicians imagined a future filled with pocket-sized personal computers accessing a network via cellular data. Mired in development delays, their initial device was a catastrophic failure. But this documentary lovingly profiles the talented minds whose imaginations changed the world, and details the path from General Magic to the smartphones in all our pockets.
