Skifilm

State-certified ski instructor. Mental trainer. Freerider. And filmmaker. Hardly any other female skier has as many professional facets as Sandra Lahnsteiner. She has made freeskiing more feminine with Shades of Winter and tells us in an interview why it's worth just doing something, why it's brave to say "no" sometimes and why her films also inspire men to ski.

The crew around Marco 'Tribi' Tribelhorn present the second teaser for their film project Riding Rhythms and pass the virtual hat around for the band.

The time has finally come: the Warren Miller Film Tour is touring Germany again. The motto of the 66th film this time is, as the title suggests: "Faster than your own shadow". To mark the start of the tour, we are giving away 4 x 2 free tickets.

The Warren Miller Film Tour will be touring Germany again from the second of November. This time, the 66th Warren Miller film presents the fringe groups of winter sports: speedriding, powsurfing, but also real classics such as monoskiing. Of course, the classic powder runs through Alaska, Utah and Chamonix are not neglected either.

"Waist-deep powder snow in Ticino, winter camping in Disentis, sunset in the Laax snow park or steep descents around the Keschhütte. Long Season, Short Stories tells six short stories about what winter means for freeskiers. In addition to lots of skiing and snowboarding action, the film shows brief insights into the "everyday life" of the four main protagonists. The film was made out of passion for sport and art, without any commercial intentions. With over 80% Swiss music, snow and snow sports enthusiasts, the film is not quite "Swissmade", but certainly more local than Argentinian "Bündnerfleisch"."

For five days in the first week of October, several thousand visitors celebrated freeski culture, film, the sport and themselves at the international Freeski Film Festival in Hintertux and Innsbruck. The iF3 showed over 30 films from the current premiere season, brought many a well-known rider from the scene to Tyrol and ensured exuberant parties in Innsbruck's town halls. The second edition of iF3 was in no way inferior to last year's event and was a complete success in the eyes of the organizers.

On September 24, 2011, at 10 p.m. sharp, it was "Film off!" at the Cinemaxx cinema in Munich for the premiere of the new ski film "ALL. I. CAN." by Sherpa Cinema. "All. I. CAN." is a tribute to the wonders of the mountains, but at the same time appeals to the environmental awareness of all skiing, mountaineering and nature sports enthusiasts.

Low budget? No, no budget! There are plenty of film crews with big projects and manageable content in the age of YouTube. Few, however, know how to inspire right from their debut like Dendrite Studios. The Best Big Mountain Movie award presented at the beginning of the season should be enough reason to pay attention to their first work.

To all gentlemen of creation – dress warmly! With the brand new freeski film "AS WE ARE – A GIRLS SKI MOVIE", six strong freeski girls are shaking up the previously testosterone-dominated freeride circus and leaving an impression?

It?s true, there is nothing good on TV. Powderwhore Production addresses this problem and brings great cinema to your screen with Television – a Telemark ski film. The crème de la crème of heel-free skiers were filmed in some of the most remote places in North America. Mission accomplished?

Eric Pollard, probably one of the most creative and active freeskiing figures on the globe, has taken the fate of a film production into his own hands. He paints, films and has a rather unconventional view of things. His wife, Erin Valverde Pollard, a gifted graphic artist and camerawoman, supports him in his projects. The new Pollard film Contrast was recently released under the Nimbus Independent banner.

With "Eyes Wide Open", the young Filip Christensen has delivered a successful work this time, after he was not so successful last year with "Get Lucky". The riders - again mainly from Scandinavia - show off their skills in some remarkable contributions and even the jump scenes are not boring for the freeriders among us. Innovative jumps and, above all, the massive kickers ensure that you stay entertained. Not to mention the wide-angle heli shots, the incredible cliff drops, the fat powder and the impressive pillow runs (see picture)...
