Team
THE TEAM OF THE FREERIDE FILM FESTIVAL
Volker Hölzl
Founder of the festival and all-round talent for all economic, creative and logistical matters. Volker checks the partners, the cinemas and the entire tour as well as the good mood for the crew on the bus.
Harry Putz
Founder of the FFF and final authority on the selection of festival films. Harry is a filmmaker himself and has a special sense for what it means to manage a production from vision to cinema screenings. On the FFF stage he guides through the evening and interviews the athletes.
Ines Enöckl
This happy soul is our online enthusiast Ines. You can mainly meet her in the virtual space or on the dance floor. Since this year she takes over our social media channels and complements the male organising team of the Freeride Film Festival with female charm. When she’s not on tour with us, she runs the show at YESGIRL Communications in Vienna..

Martin Obermayr
Editor-in-chief
As a skilled worker for text elements Martin likes to play with letters. At the FFF he is allowed to do so basically without supervision. He makes sure that we start conversations in the summer and don’t lose our language in the rather hectic autumn.
Hannes Kropik
Editor
Hannes Kropik, journalist, winter enthusiast and passionate passive sportsman. He has been professionally involved in freeriding for years. Already on tour with the Freeride Film Festival in 2017 as a social media person and co-host, now back at it again as a writer, poster and podcaster.
Martin Misof
Martin is the new stage voice and replaces Neil Williman, who has returned to New Zealand.
As a former freeski pro, the native of Innsbruck is still on a first-name basis with the scene and provides atmosphere as a professional event speaker, for example at Crankworkx.
Andi Spies
Co-Host
The long-time veteran of the scene. Andi has been our co-host in Munich since the beginning and has also brought us to his former home in Cologne. He was editor-in-chief of the MBM snowboard magazine in the 90s, makes the surf magazine BLUE and looks after clients such as Messe München.
Lena Öller
Lena writes as a freelance journalist for Bergwelten magazine, among others, and is a press officer for the climate protection association Protect Our Winters. In 2024, she will be moderating the Freeride Film Festival for the first time, guiding the program together with Martin Misof and interviewing the athletes and filmmakers for the FFF Instagram account.
Marco Tribelhorn
The talented Swiss filmmaker and visual artist is supporting the FFF with stylish photos and video edits on the tour, because documentaries can also be different.
