Swede Fest Palm Beach

Swede Fest Palm Beach Submit films by 11:59 PM on Septembe Festival is 7:00 PM on Fri. Sept. 22 @ The Lake Worth Playhouse. What is a sweded film? after party at the Brewhouse Gallery.

In 2008, the film "Be Kind Rewind" spawned a subculture of Internet videos in which regular people re-make Hollywood films with no money. These no-budget remakes are called “swedes.” Most of them are bad – as in “bad movies by good people,” our tagline. As a byproduct of the underground sweding craze, two guys in Fresno invited a bunch of friends to make films starring themselves, then get togethe

r to screen them in another homage: To the indie film festival – but without the beautiful celebrities, coolness factor, or bidding wars. swede fest™ palm beach is modeled after that original Swede Fest, and will be held in Lake Park's Kelsey Theater with a where's-the-red-carpet?
