In an attempt to bring the ski community together and to showcase the year’s best freeskiing movies, industry vets Felix Rioux, Doug Bishop and JF Durocher founded the International Freeski Film Festival (iF3) in 2007. iF3 is the largest festival tour of its kind, traveling the globe to present the world’s best ski and snowboard movies of the year and drawing producers, athletes and attendees from more than 20 countries.
In its 12th year, iF3 kicks off in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, this Thursday, October 17th, with over 80 film submissions to be played over the course of the weekend. With a reputation for being the only independent ski and snowboard film awards show, iF3 prides itself on showcasing films from across the snowsports spectrum, with diverse athletic performance, artistry and production efforts all taken into account as part of the judging process. From Matchstick Productions’ Return to Send’er to Faction’s THE COLLECTIVE, this year’s iF3 festival is one you certainly don’t want to miss.
