About the Film
“Long Flat Balls”(NR, Norway, 2006, 1 hour, 43 minutes)
Those that attendance last season’s enjoyed the screening of the Norwegian comedy heist film Long Flat Balls III: Broken Promises so much that the film series reached out to director Harald Zwart to express gratitude for his with getting us a copy of the film that could be screened in the US with our equipment. In response, the filmmaker suggested that the series show the entire trilogy and graciously granted the necessary permissions and films to do so.
In Long Flat Balls, the first film in the trilogy, the Norwegian working-class heroes of EdGarasjen empty their bank accounts to travel to the World Cup soccer championship in Germany in hopes of saving the garage (and their jobs) from bankruptcy.
