Film Program
Stasis
Svea Irving juggles her bachelor’s degree, competing as a halfpipe ski pro in the World Cup and X-Games, all while eyeing the 2026 Olympics. Yet, she always finds peace in the backcountry. “Stasis” captures the beauty of finding stillness amidst chaos. Director Griffin Glendinning highlights how nature connects every aspect of Svea’s life.
The Red Face Zone
The Weger brothers, Matthias and Jakob, face an odd problem: their faces flush bright red as they battle anger and conflict. Diagnosed with "Red Face Syndrome," their only remedy is to conquer the narrowest and most intense lines in the Dolomites. Directed by Marco Tribelhorn, this short and thrilling film was inspired on the FFF 2023 tour bus.
Sariri
What motivates people to climb mountains? This film follows five adventurers from Switzerland, Austria, Bolivia, and Peru as they ski 6,000-meter-high walls in the Andes, taking on Bolivia’s “Chachacomani.” Director Paul Schweller, just 23, delivers a thought-provoking and visually stunning film showcasing both risk and beauty.
SCUrrari
Snowboarder Timm Schröder and ski pro Dino Flatz prove that mountains are best tackled together, even with different gear. Set in Arlberg and Zillertal, this fun movie blends powder, friendship, and a killer hip-hop soundtrack by “Doomaniac.” It’s all about laughter, but with a nod to the real risks of freeriding.
Farming Turns
From freeride star to organic farmer, Chris Rubens finds balance in his hometown of Revelstoke, Canada. This film, by award-winning director Anthony Bonello, follows Rubens as he creates a sustainable life for his family, blending adventure and purpose with stunning visuals.
