who – which Freeride Film Festival It is one of the highlights of the season, not only because the best indie films come to the big screen, but also because its protagonists, i.e. athletes and filmmakers, go on tour with them.

Say. And it’s also the Bavarian who is likely to be laughing at his side this time: Bernard Brown, who in “Sinner Fields” in pseudo-English laments his spoiled season, which was nonetheless so successful.

Another highlight is Elias Elhart’s “Hidden Land”, in which free-lance legend Xavier de Le Roux deals with the dangers of free flight. Both have experienced tragic avalanche incidents.
