2022 iF3 MOVIE AWARDS NOMINEES
The iF3 Festival is excited to announce the nominees of the 2022 iF3 Movie Awards, which will take place during the kickoff of the iF3 World Tour in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada on October 19th – 22nd.
After a total of 110 films were submitted, the most in the 15-year history of iF3, proving that ski and snowboard filmmaking is not only alive and well, but thriving, the iF3 Jury—which is composed of Forecast Ski Magazine’s Jeff Schmuck and professional skiers Will Wesson and Janelle Yip on the ski side of things, and industry stalwart Guillaume Morisset, filmmaker Ralph Samson and photographer Hugues Beauchamp for snowboarding—has judged the year’s best movie projects, and the winners will be unveiled at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler on Saturday, October 22nd at 5:30 p.m. PST and streamed live on festivalif3.com.
And now, without further ado, here’s a look at the nominees…
