25th Annual Sidewalk Film Festival

The Sidewalk Film Festival is an annual film festival taking place during the last weekend in August in Birmingham’s Historic Theatre District. Sidewalk first garnered critical praise outside of Alabama when TIME Magazine listed the festival in its article “Top 10 Film Festivals for the Rest of Us.”  Over the course of the weekend, approximately 350 films will be shown at 10 venues across the city. 2023 marks the first year the festival will be hosted at the BJCC utilizing both the BJCC Theatre and Forum Theater, where 4-6 films will be shown per day at each venue.  View the Sidewalk Film Festival schedule here.
