Freeride Filmfestival 2025
“In 2025 we are asking the question: How close are we moving to the limit – and how much strength grows out of that experience at the edge? Our films show how athletes in extreme situations find moments of clarity, connection, and transformation. From the fading soul of a glacier to the superhuman power of motherhood – it is always about the balance between risk and meaning. The evolution of the international ski and snowboard film genre is definitely reaching a new dimension in 2025.”
Statement by Harry Putz, Program Director FFF
This year, the Freeride Film Festival 2025 runs under the theme THE GAME WITH THE LIMIT and presents the following films:
⸻
Between Days
Nine snowboarders, four nations, one storm in the Japanese Alps. Waist-deep powder, philosophy, and quiet togetherness merge into a black-and-white epic shot on 16mm, produced by Robyn van Gyn and Shin Campus – blessed with what might be the most unbelievable powder snow imaginable.
⸻
Fathom
A whisper in the white. A reckoning in silence. Where the mountain speaks – and you listen. With Fathom, the Weger Brothers share an intimate reflection on fear, forgiveness, and the quiet answers that life offers.
⸻
Into Altai
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 landscapes, legends, and the search for what truly moves us in the mountains.
⸻
Flipbook
In his first personal project, Parkin Costain shows why he is considered one of the most exceptional athletes of his generation. As producer, director, and editor, he stages epic conditions in his home terrain, supported by the team from Teton Gravity Research – redefining skiing in the process.
⸻
Evanescent
A skier on melting ice – caught between movement and impermanence. The glacier becomes the stage for a visually poetic disintegration that makes the climate crisis palpable in shimmering fragments. An art film that stirs and forges new paths in the ski film genre.
⸻
Dear Superhero
Freeride icon Janina Kuzma becomes a mother – and ventures deep into the Southern Alps of New Zealand with Leanne Pelosi and Evelina Nilsson. Director Corinna Marie Halloran creates a touching portrait of motherhood in professional sport – a story that needs to be told.
