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.
In 1984, before cell phones, the web, and reality TV, a young director set out to document a year in the life of a typical California high school. The result was "All American High", an unusually honest and humorous look at 80's teen life. The Hollywood Reporter found it "fascinating and insightful" and The Village Voice called it "a laugh out loud documentary." Told through the eyes of a visiting foreign exchange student, the film presents an uncensored view of senior year in the era of big hair, punks and parachute pants. After the original film, many of the original subjects appear in new segments, revisiting one of the most memorable chapters in their lives.
