SidewalkFilm

In its 19th year, Sidewalk Film Festival has perfected its own personal trifecta of hospitality, networking, and pure fun. Encouraging attendees to break out of their shells and get to know one another, Sidewalk likes to mix filmmakers and their audiences in an unusual town with unusual activities. The atmosphere at Sidewalk is electric with creativity and collaboration as filmmakers and film-lovers socialize between screenings and participate in panel discussions. Low-priced passes and a condensed footprint encourage filmmakers and attendees alike to connect during this 3-day, weekend festival with true southern hospitality.
