Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'sweded' concept originated from Michel Gondry's 2008 film Be Kind Rewind, where characters remake films after accidentally erasing them.
This festival emerged specifically from 2021 pandemic lockdowns, proving constraint breeds the wildest creativity when film fans can't access actual productions.
