Freeride Filmfestival 2026

The Freeride Filmfestival 2026 features six films that tell stories of life's extremes in the mountains – from avalanches and sailing trips to quiet stories about friendship and origins. They all speak to the same moment: letting go of control to move with nature.

YIN
Swiss professional snowboarder Daria Fuchs searches for her connection to the frozen world – from snow-capped peaks down to sea level, where she pursues surfing and the elements in Japan. Directed by Morgan Maassen.

INSIDE CIRCLES
Director Dominic Knoppe travels through Iceland and Norway with his friends Max Pflanzl and Tim Boehringer – by snowboard, splitboard, and sailboat, always driven by the wind. A film about the freedom that emerges when you stop trying to control nature and start moving with it.

UNCLE TIMMY
In a vision of the future, snowboard pro Timm Schröder – "Uncle Timmy" – tells his best friend Dino Flatz's children about his life between a world championship title, hard slams, and real losses. The line between truth and exaggeration blurs.

KODO
A group of Japanese skiers and filmmakers based in Canada blend traditional taiko drumming and the philosophy of "wabi-sabi" with the majestic wilderness of Canada.

75 SECONDS
On a foggy March evening in Norway, freeskier Jacob Wester triggers an avalanche. For 75 seconds, he fights for his life in the roaring chaos of snow, while his wife Sofia waits below in silence. A raw film about chaos, fear, and hope.

FERRYLAND
In the Norwegian fjord village of Trandal, home to just 17 residents and some of the country's best freeride spots, a group of friends returns to race against time to save their season.
