FILM PICKS FROM 2021

    2021 has produced an abundance of epic video content, so we've gathered our top picks to celebrate the holiday season. Sit back, relax and enjoy some jaw dropping skiing and get inspired for the new year.

    ROOTS - The Faction Collective

    Duration: 45 min

    Our third feature film uncovers the foundations of freeskiing as seen by the current generation of skiers. From the caves of the Dolomites to the nightscapes of Ruka and the mythic peaks surrounding Verbier, "Roots" takes us on a journey through the vibrant spectrum of freeskiing. In co-production with Red Bull Media House.

    UTAH TO BC - The Faction Collective

    Duration: 8 min

    Pack your bags for an epic road trip as Tim McChesney, Duncan Adams, Blake Wilson and Alex Hall hit the open road from Utah to BC, chasing powder and good times. Four skiers, one camera and 1600 miles of North American wilderness.

    MOITIÉ MOITIÉ - Sarah Hoefflin

    Duration: 3 min

    Moitié-Moitié, meaning half-and-half, is the name of the traditional Swiss fondue awaiting Sarah after a long journey descending through alleyways, over rooftops and under trains to reach her dinner reservation on time.

    FROM SOURCE - Yann Rausis

    Duration: 13 min

    'FROM SOURCE' is a poetic and mystic freeride skiing journey imagined by Yann Rausis. Between big mountain lines and playful spring skiing, the film explores the contrast between different facets of the same passion, and how it is ultimately inspired by the connection with Nature.

    IMAGINE - Simon Charrière

    Duration: 7 min

    Imagine is a creative project that links reality and animated illustration. Three friends find themselves projected into a cartoonist's dream. Somewhere in the Swiss Alps, they find themselves enjoying powdery snow and melting cheese. Their adventures follow one another and are brought to life by hand-animated graphics. From the confines of imaginary space to the valleys of the Val d'Anniviers, the adventure that comes out of a pen and paper will try to transport you as far as possible.
