We’re proud to announce the world’s longest-running festival devoted to sweded films will be returning this May. We’re also excited to reveal that we will be returning to downtown Fresno! Swede Fest 7 will take place at Full Circle Brewing Co. (located at 620 F. Street) Saturday, May 14, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. The event is still all ages and FREE for all to come, enjoy and have a good time. So now that we have a date, we need YOUR creative juices to start flowing. The deadline to get your Swede entry in for the festival is Monday, May 9th at 11:59 p.m., and it is FREE to enter. Of course, we have some rules and here they are:
If you’re looking for some inspiration, you can check out all our past entries at the official Swede Fest website. Traditionally, people have sweded movies. Sometimes they tackle the entire film, sometimes just the trailer, and other times just a scene. Other folks have branched out and sweded a TV show, TV news coverage, and even a public service announcement. So feel free to get creative (psst … this concept hasn’t been done locally, so if you’re looking for an angle, go for it)! Just remember, this is a family-friendly event, so keep that in mind when thinking about swedeing Eyes Wide Shut.
Gather up your friends, families and pets, make a list of your favorite movies, bust out your camera (your cell phone has a camera so no excuse), and get your swede on! It’s a fun experience and there’s nothing like being at Swede Fest and seeing your entry on the big screen with an audience! As the director of Be Kind Rewind & swede creator Michel Gondry once said, “You’ll like this film because you’re in it!”.
I'm so excited! I totally hav some ideas already.
Hope this inspires some people: http://io9.com/#!5782219/simon-pegg-and-nick-fros…
