Freeride Film Festival 2025: playing with the limit - 30 January 2026

Statement by Harry Putz, Programme Director FFF: "In 2025, we ask the question: How close are we to the limit - and how much strength comes from this borderline experience? Our films show how athletes find moments of clarity, connection and change in extreme situations. From the fading soul of a glacier to the superhuman strength of motherhood - it's always about the balance between risk and meaning. The development of the international ski and snowboard film genre is definitely reaching a new dimension in 2025."

The films at a glance 

Between Days
Nine snowboarders, four nations, one storm in the Japanese Alps. Hip-deep powder, philosophy and silent solidarity combine to create a black-and-white epic on 16mm, produced by Robyn van Gyn and Shin Campus - and blessed with the most incredible deep snow imaginable.

Fathom
A whisper in the white. A reckoning in silence. Where the mountain speaks - and you listen. The Weger Brothers share with Fathom an intimate reflection on fear, forgiveness and the quiet answers of life.

Into Altai
Three adventurers, five sacred peaks, two weeks in a yurt. Director Yannick Boissenot accompanies Camille Armand, Pierre Hourticq and Victor Daviet into the Mongolian Altai Mountains. A visual testimony to the landscape, legends and the search for what really moves us in the mountains.

Flipbook
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 stages epic conditions in his home country, supported by the Teton Gravity Research team - and redefines skiing in the process.

Evanescent
A skier on melting ice - caught between movement and transience. The glacier becomes the stage for a visually poetic decay that makes the climate crisis tangible in shimmering splinters. An art film that shakes things up and breaks new ground in the ski film genre.

Dear Superhero
Freeride icon Janina Kuzma becomes a mum - and heads deep into the Southern Alps of New Zealand together with Leanne Pelosi and Evelina Nilsson. Director Corinna Marie Halloran paints a touching portrait of motherhood in professional sport - a story that needs to be told.
