The Freeride Film Festival travels around the world, bringing its full ski and snowboard program to selected cinemas. 110 minutes packed with spectacular freeride footage, presented by an on-screen host and complemented with exclusive interviews and more. With a cozy après-ski atmosphere at the venue and a fitting welcome drink.
The Freeride Film Festival is coming to Groningen! Let yourself be carried away on an unforgettable journey through the mountains and experience the ultimate winter sports atmosphere. Six breathtaking films showcase how limits are pushed – in nature, on the peaks, and in life itself. With a captivating mix of arthouse poetry, raw documentaries, and spectacular mountain action, the festival opens your eyes to new perspectives on life in the mountains.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Harry Putz, Program Director FFF:
“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.”
Volker Hölzl, Festival Director FFF:
“The Freeride Filmfestival has become a stage that goes far beyond the classic ski film. We present bold independent productions that combine powder action with artistic ambition, social relevance, and touching storytelling. That’s exactly what makes the FFF unique.”
There are no new dates planned (yet) for Freeride Film Festival On Tour.
