Moving Sidewalks was a 1960s psychedelic blues-rock band, most notable for giving future ZZ Top-guitarist Billy Gibbons his start in the music business. They were quite popular in the Houston, Texas-area, especially their song "99th Floor". The group played wih Jimi Hendrix in an early US tour.
In addition to fantastic films, the atmosphere at Sidewalk is electric with creativity and collaboration as film-lovers and filmmakers mix and mingle between screenings, participate in free SideTalk panel discussions, grab a bite at the Sidewalk Café, or hear live music at the Sidewalk Music Lounge.
New in 2007, Sidewalk launches the Life and Liberty sidebar, a program of Civil and Human Rights related films, in partnership with the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.
