Event Description
Indie film festivals have a rich history of showcasing amazing undiscovered
talent, where Hollywood insiders troll for the next big thing, where A-list
stars promote the small, labor-of-love projects they do between
blockbusters. This is not the case with the annual swede fest™ palm
beach. Instead, a “swede” is a no-budget, laughably bad remake of a hit
Hollywood film. The term comes from the 2008 comedy, “Be Kind Rewind,”
which started an underground sweding craze and resulted in the very first
swede fest™ in Fresno. Next came swede fest™ Tampa bay, and swede
fest™ palm beach ushers in its 7th (ish) year on October 24, 2021. “Red
Carpet” entry starts at 6 pm with screenings from 7 pm to 9 pm at the
Kelsey Theater in Lake Park.
