Join us for the only festival of classic movies, re-made by amateurs who replace A-list stars and CGI with whatever is laying around their houses and a ton of creativity. It’s odd, unexpected, and a whole lot of fun.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Isn't Sweden a country?

It is! We hear they have great meatballs.

But Sweded films have nothing to do with Sweden the country, and everything to do with Michel Gondry’s Be Kind Rewind — a 2008 film in which video store employees (Jack Black and Mos Def) ruin an entire store worth of videos and cover their mistake by hilariously remaking films themselves.

We turned the concept into a film festival and 2020 will be its fourth year running.

I want to make a Sweded Film!

Awesome! We can’t wait to watch it.

Registration for the Fifth Annual Festival is officially open. You can register and check out the rules here.

I bought a presale ticket. Now what?

When the movie comes out on Feb. 12, you’ll be able to watch it. You’ll receive an email when it’s available.

Can I watch it on my smart TV?

Yes! Probably. Check out our tech help center for our most frequently asked questions and reach out to tech@rowhouse.online if your question wasn’t answered.

Can my kids watch this?

We recommend our filmmakers keep it roughly PG-13, and we choose films/edit accordingly.

I run a theater, how can I be a part of this?

If you are a theater and would like to participate, please email us here

I would love for my local theater to participate!

If you would like your favorite, local, independent, amazing theater to participate, please email us here

How does this help local movie theaters?

It’s been a rough year to run a movie theater y’all. Many, like Row House, are relying on the release of virtual cinema titles to earn a little money. When you rent through your local cinema, they’ll receive 50% of the sale just for letting you know about it!
