Film program

 


The Forest Child

 

This film is a nature tale that begins in the forest and ends in the rugged mountains of Lyngen. Lovisa reflects on her longing for the forest and how it led her to where she is now. Together with Evelina Nilsson they discover the steep mountains in Norway and what turned them into mountain enthusiasts. A movie by: Lovisa Rosengren & Moa Jonsson. Skiers: Lovisa Rosengren and Evelina Nilsson.

 

 

SKIBUDDIES ARE YOUR LIFEINSURANCE

Three strangers meet in the mountains - with only one day to shoot, and conditions force them to question their entire plan. Unstable snowpack and rising temperatures raise the crucial question: who can you trust with your side when your life is at stake?

 

 

Ahead and behind

"Ahead and Behind" is a story about how a father and son walk side by side, sometimes ahead, sometimes behind and sometimes for a moment - at the same time. Skiers: Joona and Marko Alaverronen.

 

 

Chasing the lines

Chasing the Lines represents a traditional ski film, where the lines speak for themselves. Filmed in the spring of 2025, the film follows skier Ville Vuori from the challenging conditions of the Swiss Alps to the stunning seascapes of the Lyngen fjords in Norway. The winter offered lines with little snow and fortunately for everyone, also huge powder dumps. The repetitions seek the perfect line, but is it possible – or even necessary to find it? Skier: Ville Vuori.
