A sweded film is a summarized, low-budget recreation of a popular movie, starring you! The term comes from the 2008 film “Be Kind Rewind” directed by Michel Gondry, and in his words: “[Your film] doesn’t have to be good, it’s not a competition. It’s for people to make a movie and watch it.” That’s Swede Fest. The festival started in California but has grown to receive submissions from as far as the UK, France, Spain and Australia!

Swede Fest happens every six months in Fresno, California and Tampa, Florida. If you’re interested in starting a Swede Fest in your area, contact us!
