FACTION SKIS' THIS IS HOME

Follow The Faction Collective as they return to their homes around the world to show us how they get it done on home turf in their first feature-length team film, This Is Home. From Europe to the U.S. and back again—via old playgrounds, new challenges, secret spots and favourite lines—This Is Home chronicles what it means to be a freeskier today: where the conditions are what you make of them, and the search for that perfect ride starts in your own backyard.

This Is Home has been nominated for multiple awards by the Powder Awards, iF3 and International Freeride Film Festival, including Film of the Year, People’s Choice, Best Male Street Segment (Antti Ollila), and Discovery of the Year (Alex Hall). The film was directed by Etienne Merel, who also directed Faction’s web series, We Are The Faction Collective, which has received over two million views.
