The CF Ira Holmes International Film Series presents “Long Flat Balls.” (NR, Norway, 2006, 1 h 43 m)

Those that attended last season’s screening of Norwegian comedy heist film Long Flat Balls III: Broken Promises enjoyed it so much that the film series reached out to director Harald Zwart to express gratitude for his assistance with getting CF 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.

All films will be shown Tuesdays at 2 p.m. at the Appleton Museum of Art, 4333 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Ocala, and at 7 p.m. at the College of Central Florida, 3001 S.W. College Road, Building 8, Room 110, unless otherwise noted. Films at the Ocala Campus are free and open to the public. Films at the Appleton are free to all museum and film series members; nonmembers pay museum admission. Films may contain mature content.
