FFF 2023: An unforgettable event!
All in – action, femininity, art & passion
Under the motto “FOREVER RIDE”, the FFF 2023 was convincing in every respect – artistically, thematically, athletically and technically. The diverse narrative approaches and outstanding implementation were particularly impressive. In addition, two remarkable “All Female” films further enriched the festival line-up of stops and screenings in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and Slovakia. And after the tour is before the tour: FFF 2024 starts on November 7. Info on the stops after Easter!
DATES 2024 coming soon!

A 100% Foot-Powered Freeskiing Experience Ski-touring, the act of ascending a mountain with the aim to ski down it, has been around for as long as skiing itself.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!
