The Freeride Film Festival is back in the Forum with six new films! Let yourself be swept away on an unforgettable journey through the mountains and experience the ultimate winter sports atmosphere. With a cozy après-ski ambiance at the venue and a fitting welcome drink.
From existential moments in snow and wind to hushed stories about friendship and heritage. And from an avalanche on the Norwegian coast and a sailing trip through Icelandic fjords, to Japanese drumming in the Canadian wilderness and a snowboarder reflecting on his life.
What connects this year’s six films is letting go of control – whether it’s in the midst of an avalanche, aboard a sailboat, or in a fjord village in a race against the clock.
In doing so, the Freeride Film Festival once again bridges the gap between visually poetic arthouse productions, documentaries, and classic big mountain action, always with the ambition to provide new perspectives on life in the mountains.

The Swiss professional snowboarder Daria Fuchs is searching for her connection to the frozen world – from snow-covered peaks to sea level, where she seeks surfing and the elements in Japan. Directed by: Morgan Maassen.
Director Dominic Knoppe travels with his friends Max Pflanzl and Tim Boehringer through Iceland and Norway – on snowboard, splitboard, and sailboat, always propelled by the wind. A film about the freedom that arises when you stop trying to control nature and start moving with it.
In a vision of the future, professional snowboarder Timm Schröder – ‘Uncle Timmy’ – tells his best friend Dino Flatz’s children about his life, which was framed by a world title, hard crashes, and real losses. The line between truth and exaggeration blurs.
A group of Japanese skiers and filmmakers based in Canada combine traditional taiko drumming and the philosophy of 'wabi-sabi' with the majestic wilderness of Canada.
On a misty March evening in Norway, freeskier Jacob Wester triggers an avalanche. For 75 seconds, he fights for his life in the roaring chaos of snow, while his wife Sofia waits silently below. A raw film about chaos, fear, and hope.
In the Norwegian fjord village of Trandal – home to only 17 residents and some of the best freeride locations in the country – a group of friends returns for a race against the clock to save their season.
