FREERIDE FILM FESTIVAL

Karin Lechner

Thank you for selecting us again, in 2023 already for the third time! The entire film team and Snowmads crew appreciates the FFF very much.

Thank you for highlighting so diverse and unique freeride films, the atmosphere in the sold out cinemas was one-of-a-kind. FFF drives progress in freeride filmmaking. It also sets an example for the theatrical distribution of sports films. Excited where this takes us next!

Thank you very much for the invitation to the festival and the Honerable Mention Award, a huge surprise. It was a great pleasure to meet you in person and to see what you are up to. Our compliments - really cool how you push sustainability and zero-budget projects!

We're so fired up, this is a festival we really wanted to be a part of is amazing. I can speak for the entire team here and say how thrilled we are. We have always had our hearts and minds set on this one, so we were so excited to see us go the distance to the FFF.

Movie: Con Artist (2023)

Johanna Brunner

What a thrill of engaging with large audiences across multiple cinema stops, discussing a topic that is so close to our hearts, the importance of all female crews and the meaning of living in tune with the menstrual cycle.

Having movies about social and environmental topics alongside some 100% freeriding action, underscored the festival's unique ability to blend entertainment with meaningful dialogue. Thanks FFF for your meaningful contributions to the world of filmmaking.

Movie: Cycles (2023)

Richard Buchner

I am particularly pleased that the festival selected our movie.

The decision to showcase such a crucial topic in all cinemas truly underscores their commitment to addressing climate issues. Furthermore, witnessing our finished project on the big screen in sold-out theaters evoked an indescribable feeling.

A huge thanks to the entire FFF crew, fellow filmmakers, athletes, and the incredible audience for this amazing experience.

Movie: Projection (2023)

Samuel McMahon

Five stars all round for the Freeride crew.

Excellent communication pre and post-tour, plus the stops we attended had an insane atmosphere. Equal billing and respect for both the athletes and the film makers was definitely a highlight for all.

Movie: Left Right - A Film About Turning (2023)

Elias Elhardt

Thank you for letting our film be part of this year´s tour. It was amazing to be present at several stops and see the enthusiasm of your community in large sold out cinemas.

I think having the undivided attention of a big crowd at multiple cinema stops has an incredible value, especially when social or environmental subjects are being discussed tied in with the joy and shared passion for freeriding.

Filme: Invisible Ground (2022)

This was such a unique experience. Not only because of presenting our movie in a different city every night but also because of the people and passion that is put into this festival. I will never forget these few days! Thanks to Harry and the rest of the team for making this a crazy and beautiful ride! Hope to meet again.

The team is great, super open to new film formats and topics. Couldn't attend but have heard only good things about the events!

Movie: Fragment Choices (2022)

Mat Schaer

The difference to other festivals is their commitment to bring films with meaningful purposes regarding environmental issues on their screen and stage. It is clear that to limit global warming and biodiversity loss, societies need to develop new narratives and trigger wide systemic changes. I’m convinced that outdoor sport movies have an import role to play in this regard. 

Movies: Shelter (2019), Saleinaz Base Camp (2021)

Victor Heim

One of the best. Harry + Crew giving 110% to provide a great show while having this easy-going attitude that everyone loves. Being on the road together and sharing this time was something I’ll never forget. Thanks and see you again soon.

Never thought I'd get to roll around the German speaking countries of Europe in a tour bus presenting a ski movie that we're proud of with a bunch of other cool cats and their movies! And that I was able to be a presenter at the World Wide Shows 20/21 and on the Tour 21 was a great honor. Huge thanks to Harry and Volker for making it happen.

GRANDE. They got the spirit, they share the spirit. Curating happens with a Vision, a superb blend of films & characters hits the road… Quick and easy communication is another big plus. 127,9% recommended.

Movie: Partie (2021)

Super friendly, super duper familiar and straightforward. Since it was my first "film submission" they really helped me with valuable information. Super nice to see that this festival combines sports, passion, culture and also art. I am super happy that I could win the ABS Safety Award with my art project. Keep up the good work!

My third time being a part of the FFF, such good memories, one of the sickest moments in my skiing life 😀 Always love the movie selection, the good vibe & the opportunity of showing movies to a wider audience. Big up FFF & keep going, you are so important for the culture of freeskiing & snowboarding.

The Freeride Filmfestival was for me 50% of the motivation to realize my ski films. The annual showdown of the freeride scene is mega, to have a film in the program of the FFF is a highlight!

Nadine Wallner

The Freeride Filmfestival is always a real party! Besides the ski action on the screen, there's also a lot of action at the stops themselves and it's always fun to be there. It's one of the festivals where you can really feel the spirit of winter sports and snow, not least because Harry as curator has lived and still lives this spirit himself. Something like that must not be lost. Keep up the spirit and stoke for winter and snow! 

Movies: Shades Of Winters - Between 2015,  Exploring Alaska 2016,  Now Or Never 2018,  The Sky Piercer 2018
