 “Sweded” films are inspired by Michel Gondry’s 2008 film Be Kind, Rewind , 

which sees two video - store workers create brief - but - bizarre 

remakes of real movies, unintentionally creating a must - see fad

concert films have all been given the unique treatment known as “sweding ” for the first -

and darkened their screens in the wake of COVID 19. 

“It’s been an extraordinarily difficult year for independent movie exhibitors and for 
film fans, but we remain undaunted, and our Sweded Festival is a way to celebrate 
everything we love about movies,” said Brian Mendelssohn, owner of Row House Cinema, 
which launched The Sweded Film Festival for Creative Re-Creations 
four years ago as a local event in Pittsburgh and is taking it national for 2021.

 “The exuberance and immense creativity of the entrants is wonderful to see – silly, passionate, inspired and sometimes downright crazy.” 

Virtual cinema releases help independently owned cinemas make up for the revenue 
lost during this historic time.
