Join us on Friday, August 28 from 5–7 PM for the Opening Night Pre-Show Block Party on the 1800 Block of 2nd Avenue North.
Celebrate the start of the 28th Annual Sidewalk Film Festival Weekend with music, food trucks, community, festival excitement, and a chance to gather with filmmakers, friends, and fellow film lovers before the opening night festivities begin a block away at the Alabama Theatre.
Grab your crew, soak up the energy, and kick off a weekend of unforgettable films, conversations, and connections in the heart of Birmingham's Historic Theatre District.
The hilarious directorial debut from John Wilson follows our eponymous hero on a journey through a Hallmark writing class, to filming New York potholes, to visiting the oldest street in America on a mission to know more about concrete. From Vimeo Staff Picks to HBO’s How To with John Wilson, we now find John documenting mysterious characters and urban locations (as only he can) to help us uncover more clues to one of life’s greatest mysteries.
The Opening Night Film ends, but the celebration is just beginning.
Join us immediately following the Opening Night Film screening for the Opening Night After Party on the 1800 Block of 2nd Avenue North.
We're moving our traditional opening night after party to 2nd Ave N. this year for a special announcement and unveiling you won't want to miss! Plus, we'll have food trucks, bars, live music, and more!
Gather with filmmakers, festival fans, and the Birmingham community as we kick off an unforgettable weekend of cinema, creativity, and connection.
