The 16th Annual Sidewalk Film Festival
August 22-24

7-24-2014: We will continue to add details to this schedule as the Festival approaches. Please bookmark the page so that you can find the schedule easily. 

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.

Dallas, Texas
Frank Mosley has been called “a superb actor and filmmaker” (RogerEbert.com), “an indie hard-hitter” (The Playlist), “the kind of experimentalist we don’t see often enough” (Keyframe), and “a major cinematic voice” (Vague Visages). He’s participated in the 2015 Berlinale Talents, 2017 NYFF Artist Academy, and 2016 Auteur Workshop in Cuba led by Abbas Kiarostami. His performances in such films as Upstream Color, Some Beasts, Americana, Collective Unconscious, Chained for Life, and Thunder Road have been seen at festivals such as Cannes Semaine de la Critique, Sundance, Berlinale, SXSW, New Directors/New Films, AFI, BAMcinemaFest, and Sarasota Film Festival, where he won the 2016 Special Jury Prize for Outstanding Performance. His directing work has been seen on MUBI, Fandor, Kinoscope, and at Slamdance, Champs-Elysees Film Festival, Dallas Museum of Art, Northwest Film Forum, and Anthology Film Archives. The Spectacle Theater in NYC presented a retrospective of his work in 2018, including his sophomore feature Her Wilderness, which has been called “a unique work with a distinctive voice” (Indiewire), as well as his recent short film Parthenon starring Lily Baldwin, deemed “a conceptual potboiler” (The Moveable Fest) and “a minimal work of pure tension” (DesistFilm).
