The Freeride Film Festival presents bold independent productions that combine powder action with artistic ambition, social relevance, and touching storytelling.
“In 2025 we ask: How close do we move to the limit – and how much strength grows from this experience? Our films show how athletes find moments of clarity, connection, and transformation in extreme situations. From the fading soul of a glacier to the superhuman power of motherhood – it’s always about balancing risk and meaning. The development of the international ski and snowboard film genre clearly reaches a new dimension in 2025.” – Harry Putz, Program Director FFF
FFF program at a glance:
Evanescent (7 min, Austria, dir. Anna Florentina Altmann)
A skier on melting ice — caught between motion and transience. The glacier becomes the stage for a visually poetic disintegration, making the climate crisis tangible in shimmering fragments. An art film that stirs and redefines the ski film genre.
Dear Superhero (14 min, New Zealand, dir. Corinna Marie Halloran, Jase Hancox)
Freeride icon Janina Kuzma becomes a mother — and together with Leanne Pelosi and Evelina Nilsson ventures deep into New Zealand’s Southern Alps. Director Corinna Marie Halloran delivers a moving portrait of motherhood in professional sport — a story that needs to be told.
Between Days (16 min, Canada, dir. Alex Craig)
Nine snowboarders, four nations, one storm in Japan’s Alps. Waist-deep powder, philosophy, and silent connection merge into a black-and-white epic on 16mm, produced by Robyn van Gyn and Shin Campus — blessed with some of the most incredible snow imaginable.
Fathom (10 min, Italy, dir. Weger Brothers)
A whisper in the white. A reckoning in silence. Where the mountain speaks — and you listen. The Weger Brothers share an intimate reflection on fear, forgiveness, and the quiet answers of life.
Into Altai (36 min, France, dir. Yannick Boissenot)
Three adventurers, five sacred peaks, two weeks in a yurt. Director Yannick Boissenot accompanies Camille Armand, Pierre Hourticq, and Victor Daviet into Mongolia’s Altai Mountains. A visual testimony of landscape, legend, and the search for what truly moves us in the mountains.
Flipbook (7 min, USA, dir. Parkin Costain)
In his first personal project, Parkin Costain shows why he is one of the most extraordinary athletes of his generation. As producer, director, and editor, he captures epic conditions in his home mountains, supported by the crew of Teton Gravity Research — and redefines skiing on a global scale.
