Sweet archival footage of exercise, travel, and drinking games.
Mind-blowing ‘70s fashions on beautiful funky people.
New footage of (dead) fish and breathtaking scenery.
Gorgeous typographic end credits.
Apparently this short film is about Sweden. I would love it no matter what it was about. Update: it's in Swedish but it's about Norway, kinda.
Found on The Fat via motion designer Gustav Espenes, proprietor of the Klipp og Lim blog.
(Who wants to play name that typeface, for the end credits?)

So much awesome vacation footage! Love the bit where the guy is lighting his cigarette from some geothermal spot. So 70s.
It's only more proof of the Swede-Italian love connection, of which my in-laws are a shining example. Need to have father-in-law translate the narration.

That was very entertaining, despite the fact I had no idea what the narrator was saying. Also, it was very well edited!

Thanks Peter, maybe we'll get around to make an English version of the film some day :)

Thanks for the kind words Jon!
However, there are a few facts I have to straighten up :) As mentioned in the link you pasted (which was new to me actually); "In the Norwegian context, Syden is a collective term used to describe various southern destinations in a warmer climate, most often denoting Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region." and the film is in Norwegian. I guess it's a scandinavian thing ;) So a lot of the footage is actually from 70's films (which was a lot of fun going through) trying to sell the concepts of going on vacation to the mediterranean.
And for those who want to play 'name that typeface' for the end credits, I'll be more than happy to give out the correct answers if anyone wants to give it a shot :)
