Andermatt Freeride Film Festival
The 2026 Freeride Film Festival will screen six films that explore the extremes of life in the mountains – from avalanches and sailing expeditions to quiet stories about friendship and heritage. They all capture the same moment: letting go of control to move with nature.
„In 2026, our six films will each tell, in very different ways, the story of the same experience: the moment when you stop trying to control the mountains, the weather or life itself, and instead learn to move with them. Whether inside an avalanche, aboard a sailing boat through the Norwegian fjords, or navigating the line between myth and reality in a snowboarding career – this dedication is never a solitary one, but is always sustained by friendship and community. That is precisely what makes the Freeride Film Festival so special for me, year after year.“ Statement by Volker Hölzl, Festival Director of the FFF
Yin
Swiss professional snowboarder Daria Fuchs seeks her connection to the frozen world – from snow-capped peaks down to sea level, where she explores 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 – on snowboards, splitboards and a sailing boat, always propelled by the wind. A film about the freedom that arises when you stop trying to control nature and start moving with it.
Uncle Timmy
In a vision of the future, professional snowboarder Timm Schröder – „Uncle Timmy“ – tells the children of his best friend, Dino Flatz, about his life, from world championship titles to hard falls and real losses. The lines between truth and exaggeration become blurred.
Kodo 呼動
A group of Japanese skiers and filmmakers based in Canada combines traditional taiko drumming and the philosophy of „wabi-sabi“ with Canada’s majestic wilderness.
75 seconds
On a misty March evening in Norway, freeskiier Jacob Wester triggers an avalanche. For 75 seconds, he fights for his life amidst the raging snowstorm, whilst 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 return to save their season in a race against time.
