Freeride Film Festival 2024

Documentaire Special

Ontdek

The theme of the festival, with its five spectacular and experimental freeride films, is “THE ART OF RE:CONNECTION” – represented on many levels. It ranges from flow experiences in nature and environmental protection to the humorous relationship between a skier and a snowboarder, to the exploration of other cultures and their perspectives on the mountains. All of this is accompanied by top-level big mountain action, individual excellence in the backcountry, and the most brutal lines.

Omschrijving

This year the program consists of 5 short films:

Stasis
Svea Irving’s life is turbulent: completing her bachelor’s degree, competing as a halfpipe ski pro in the World Cup and X-Games, with her sights set on the 2026 Olympics. But she also loves spending time in the backcountry. One element connects all these things, and that is nature.

The Red Face Zone
Truly mysterious things happen to the Weger brothers, Matthias and Jakob. Their faces are flushed bright red. Anger, conflict, and aggression fill the air. Panicking, they discover that they are suffering from the “Red Face Syndrome.” The only cure lies in tackling the most brutal and narrow lines in the Dolomites.

Sariri
What drives people to go to the mountains? Five protagonists from Switzerland, Austria, Bolivia, and Peru push their limits as they ski various 6,000-meter-high steep walls in the Andes. A beautiful film at a gentle pace, with stunning imagery, strong portraits, and much food for thought.

SCUrrari
Freeride World Tour snowboarder Timm Schröder (a.k.a. Timmy Shredder) and ski pro Dino Flatz, with a lot of winks, show why it’s much more fun to tackle the mountains together, despite using different equipment. The film brings a sense of fun, powder, and friendship.

Farming Turns
Chris Rubens goes from freeride star to organic farmer. Not only does this allow him to live more sustainably, but it also strengthens his connection to his community and the mountains of his hometown. As a new father, he continually optimizes his daily life so that his son Huxley can grow up in the best possible world.
