No Place For Football Trailer

Crossing above the Arctic Circle, the people of Greenland live a life unfamiliar to the rest of the world. It’s a place where the grass of a football pitch finds the temperatures too cold to grow, roads aren’t a means of transportation from one town to the next, and looming icebergs offer a subtle reminder that winter isn’t just around the corner; it never left.

No Place for Football is an intimate look at one team’s experience during the world’s shortest season (one week) as they battle the elements en route to the host city, the struggle to maintain healthy players in harsh environments and the pressures of returning home victorious. Led by captain Patrick Frederiksen and head coach Nicolai Nielsen, club B67 from Nuuk travels north to the host town of Ilulissat, with the dream of becoming National Champions. But if the boys from Nuuk are to be successful, they’ll have to overcome a series of obstacles along the way, including a showdown with their bitter rival and hometown club, N48.

Joint Statement from the Directors, Brandon Scott Smith and Derek Sullivan Smith: “With all eyes on the upcoming FIFA World Cup, we’re excited to share the story of one country still waiting to get in.  Football in Greenland shows that in some places, it’s still all about playing for the love of the game, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience the story of their season in one of the most remote places on earth.”

No Place For Football will have its World Premiere at DocLands on 3rd May, followed by a streaming release early this Summer.
