Coolest Film Festivals

It’s in Birmingham. MovieMaker Magazine recently ranked the 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World for 2015, and Birmingham’s Sidewalk festival was right there along with Miami, the Bahamas and Bologna, Italy. “I’ve developed a good little crush on Birmingham, thanks to Sidewalk,” says one panelist. “It’s a dynamic city emerging as one of the capitals of the new South—with tons of new places and creative spaces popping up.” The Sidewalk Film Festival is a three-day event in August with indie films screened at venues in Birmingham’s historic Theater District http://www.moviemaker.com/archives/best_of/the-25-coolest-film-festivals-in-the-world-2015/3/ and http://sidewalkfest.com/
