Get out your FlipCams for Swede Fest 5
Local blog The Dumb Are Mostly Intrigued by the Drum has announced that submissions for Swede Fest 5 are now being accepted.
You remember what sweding is all about, right? You recreate your favorite movie scene or trailer using whatever video camera you have, and whatever low-budget props and costumes you have on hand. Submissions are then shown at a film festival called Swede Fest.
This year’s festival will take place Saturday, May 8, at Starline in the Tower District. It’s free and open to all ages, so if you’re too embarrassed to film yourself reenacting the finale of “Jaws” in your bathtub, get your kids to do it.
DVD submissions are due Monday, May 3, so get cracking. Details can be found here, and past entries can be found here.
After the jump I’ve included a couple of my favorite Swedes from Swede Fests past, plus “Ferris Bueller,” the Swede I made for Swede Fest 4 (which is my way of showing that if I can do it, you can, too).
No Country for Old Swedes
Swederado
Signs
Ferris Bueller

I’m looking forward to seeing some entries from fellow Beehive readers!
Ferris Bueller is really going to be tuff to beat!
I’m glad Ron O directed us towards the fresnobeehive. I’m one of his students, and I think it’d be pretty fun if we could get a few people from our class to do something like this. It seems really easy, and plus we get to make a fool of ourselves. I like it
You can do it, Josh! Very easy, and very fun!
Thanks, Mom.
