We’re proud to announce that White Tide: The Legend of Culebra, directed by Theo Love, will open our 20th Annual Festival, on Friday, August 24 at the beautiful Alabama Theatre. White Tide tells the larger-than-life story of a desperate Florida family man who goes on a wild treasure hunt for $2 million worth of cocaine. The fast-paced, stylish, fun, and poignant rollercoaster ride of a documentary is the perfect kickoff to Birmingham’s best weekend of the year. Director Theo Love is a Sidewalk Film Festival alum and Producer Bryan Storkel, a regular attendee since 2007, has screened 6 films at Sidewalk. The filmmakers and subjects are scheduled to attend.
Tickets for the Opening Night Film and After Party will be available for sale July 1, with a starting price of $30.
In addition to Opening Night, we are excited to announce the first feature film selections for our 20th Annual Sidewalk Film Festival. Screening dates, times and venues for these three films are not known at this time. That information, along with premium single tickets, will be available July 24th when we announce our full Festival schedule.
