The IF3 Freeski Film Festival is all about free style skiing. The
festival was hosted by Annecy in France – one of the towns which is
bidding to host the Winter Olympics in 2018.
The winner of the Best Film gong was American movie “The Way I See It”
These films are made on very small budgets compared to for example
most typical Hollywood blockbusters. Most of the European films here
were made on budgets of under 40,000 euros.
Jean Guillaume Charrier, a member of the festival’s jury explains:
“I think that in terms of creativity and originality, European films do
very well. Even with smaller budgets they have made films which are
very refreshing and innovative – the plots are simple – but they are
real films. And the editing is great, the special effects… European
films hold their own so perhaps Old Europe still has this fun and fresh
aspect.”
The festival included 3D offerings, gals on skis, and extreme skiing in India.
Punchline won the best editing prize at the festival. The girls
were represented in the film “As We Are” and the film Azadi: Freedom was
entirely shot in Kashmir…
