Alabama ScreenDance Festival Community Night (Free!)

The Alabama Screendance Festival at Sidewalk Cinema is where movement meets the magic of film. This dynamic program brings dance off the stage and onto the screen, showcasing short films created specifically for the camera, where choreography, cinematography, editing, and sound come together as one art form. From intimate solos captured in close-up to bold ensemble works set in unexpected locations, Screendance invites audiences to experience dance in new, cinematic ways. The camera becomes a creative partner, revealing details, perspectives, and emotional depth impossible to see from a theater seat. Each film is a world of its own, visually striking, emotionally resonant, and endlessly inventive. This screening celebrates innovation, storytelling, and the power of movement to connect us across disciplines. Whether you’re a dance lover, film enthusiast, or simply curious about something new, Screendance offers a fresh, immersive experience that lives at the intersection of art, motion, and imagination. Join us at Sidewalk Film Cinema and Festival for an evening where bodies tell stories, cameras dance, and film comes alive through movement. *This is a FREE event and SEATING IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED.
