Birmingham is gearing up for the 13TH Annual Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, a celebration of new independent film, which will run Friday through Sunday, AUG 26-28, 2011 in the theater district of downtown Birmingham. LOBOTOMIX’s own, The Green Seed, will be spread throughout the festival and we encourage you to go seek them out.

First, on Friday, August 26th, The Green Seed will be performing at the Opening Night After Party at the B&A Warehouse. To attend the party, you have to attend the film festival and have a either a VIP, Filmmaker, Film+Party and Weekend Pass or Opening Night Film Armband.

The next day, on Saturday, August 27th, Sugartooth‘s music video for The Green Seed’s single Crack Kills will be screening at the Carver Theater (1631 Fourth Avenue North) at 5:15pm as part of the Local Shorts 1 – Alabama Filmmakers block.
