After watching over 115 projects, iF3 have released the official longlist selection of the 17th annual iF3 Movie Awards, which take place on Saturday, October 19th, 2024 in Whistler, BC. Before that all goes down, they have three banger screenings in Montreal, the home of the festival, over the last weekend of September.

We'll be sending @Dr.Zorko to the Urban event with a bunch of merch and a mission to go big and hopefully make it home. He might even have a special guest along for the ride. For now we wanted to highlight some projects we expect to be bangers from the selection list, pieces to keep your eyes out for if you will..

El.Makrell | Bucket Clips 3

Bucket Clips brings together FLINTA skiers from across the globe in one movie, showing the breadth of passion and talent that's out there. For the first time this year, the crew went on dedicated filming missions to supplement community submitted clips and the project is a banger.

Hank Stowers | Short Wings & Surface Tension

Never one to shy away from cinematographic challenge (or anything really), Hank is back with two projects that go beyond the normal creative restrictions of the ski film and put something far more unique out there. Having discussed the projects in their conceptual stages with Hank, we can't wait to see the final result.

Dylan Siggers | Spliff

There's nobody out there doing it like Dylan Siggers at the moment and we have loved each and every one of his projects to date. With Ethan Morgan and new addition Evan Marineau along for the ride, we are sure that Spliff is going to be heavy in every sense of the word. Check the trailer if you don't believe us.

Magma | Ash

This one kinda goes without requiring explanation but Magma are back with a project filmed on this season's euro trip. The same duo in front of the lens and the same guy behind it. You know just as well as we do this is going to be good.

Keesh | Keesh 3

At this point, we weren't sure we were getting another Keesh movie but the boys have gone and made it happen. The Keesh movies are some of our favorites of the last decade so we cannot wait for this one.

Level 1 | Wasteland

Level 1 are back? To some degree. When we've spoken to them they've been keen to point out that Wasteland isn't a new annual Level 1 movie but with an unbelievably stacked crew, including Parker White, Jonah Williams, Anni Karava, Jake Mageau, Taylor Lundquist and more, we have our suspicions that this is something of a resurgence...

Simply | Oiwai

Laurent De Martin & Sampo Vallotton bring their creative vision to bear on powder fields from their home in Switzerland to the forests of Japan. Like The Art Of Recreation, Oiwai promises to be a unique cinematic experience as well as a banger ski flick, and we can't wait.

ON3P | ON3P 7

When it comes to visual output, ON3P do not fuck around. Ok, they aren't that great at titles but ON3P 6 was arguably one of the projects of the year last year, and you know the next installment is going to live up to the oh so creative name. The hype is real.

Xavier Mayrand | Mat Duf Project

Mat Duf has (very) quietly grown into being one of the best street skiers on the planet. There are no bells and whistles, no gang signs, thrifted clothes or hipster affectations... he's just crazily good. This year he's been on a solo mission with @Mayrandpodcast and we can't wait to see what has come out of it.
