What is Swede Fest Palm Beach?
The festival opens on March 28, 2025, presented by the Palm Beach Film Society and L-Dub, featuring the 10th annual Swede Fest Palm Beach. This event showcases laughably bad, low-budget remakes of popular Hollywood films known as “swedes”. Originating from the 2008 film “Be Kind Rewind”, Swede Fest Palm Beach celebrates amateur filmmaking with juried awards and an Audience Choice Award.
Anyone with any type of camera may submit a swede for free. All films must be under 3 minutes and PG-13, even if the ‘source material’ is not. This means finding creative ways to get around any violence, objectionable language, and nudity. Open call begins now, the deadline is March 1, 2025. All films must be submitted to [email protected] through Dropbox or similar digital transfer platforms. For those interested in sweding a film email [email protected] and call dibs on the film title first. Examples can be found at vimeo.com/swedefestpalmbeach
