Last Sunday, Swede Fest 17 was held in the Tower Theatre in Fresno. We covered Swede Fest and its origins pretty extensively in this post and this post, but for you visual types, ValleyPBS has put together video from the event.
Hear Swede Fest co-founder Roque Rodriguez explain what “Sweding” a movie is all about, and see some clips from films that were shown at this international festival.
To see this year’s submitted Swedes in their entirety, visit the Swede Fest YouTube channel.
Thanks to Swede Fest for letting FresYes Realty | FresYes.com be a sponsor of this year’s event. We look forward to the next one!

I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.
I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.
I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.
Fresno? I say FresYES
