RIDE FREESPORT presents a British
Freeski Film Festival
16th OCTOBER, LEICESTER SQUARE, LONDON
WINTER REQUIEM
/ SKI
CITY
/ VERBIER RIDE 06
ONE NIGHT OF BRITISH FREESKI FILM MAKING
Since 1999, when Snow Odyssey first hit the cinemas, British
Freeski film making has grown massively each year. British freeski film
making each year battles against low budget but each resultant film shows the
undoubted talent of those both in front and behind the camera.
In previous years with Snow's In The House and
Coefficient Drag, the mid October cinema night has kick started the winter
season and brought together a community of passionate freeskiers to celebrate
the real start to the winter season. This year the vibe is hitting even
harder with the launch of not only Winter Requiem (the latest Warren Smith,
Melody Sky and Guido Perrini film), but also Ski City (New production talent
from Nic Watkins, Charlie Perkins and Nick Southwell) and Verbier Ride 06
- special edition (first ever British produced IFSA World Tour Freeskiing
event).
On the 16th October you will get to watch three 100% British
produced movies that offer total contrast from art to action to record breaking
Big Mountain line scores.
WINTER REQUIEM
Winter Requiem is the latest freeride movie from Warren
Smith, Melody Sky and Guido Perrini. 'Packed with awe-inspiring imagery,
Winter Requiem presents a creative montage of all that a winter season in the
mountains holds in store. Through the eyes of the camera crew the film takes
you on a visual and acoustic journey combining hard hitting hip hop beats and
classical music symphonies. With extreme adrenaline action and the enduring
beauty of ever changing weather patterns, the film comes together to form a
Winter Requiem. The film is sponsored by Ski Club of Great
Britain, Snow + Rock, Televerbier, Dark Summer + Faction Skis.
Film partners are Natives.co.uk, Ifyouski.com, Chrome Productions, Salvador +
Amanda + Prince Charles Cinema. http://www.winter-requiem.com 20

SKI CITY
Ski City is the first release by British Freeski film maker
Nic Watkins with the assistance of Charlie Perkins and Nick
Southwell. Inspired by Frank Miller's graphic novels and hit Film Sin City,
Ski City is a UK only Ski Film that shows just how far both British freeskiing
and production have come on. The film is centred around a combination of
jaw dropping feats from Britain's top Freeskiers and a unique and highly
original editing style incorporating all the incredible effects of the hit film
Sin City. Ski City is sponsored by Ski Club of Great Britain. For

VERBIER RIDE 06 (SPECIAL EDITION) - IFSA WORLD
FREESKIING TOUR EVENT
Verbier Ride 06 turned out to be one of the best freeskiing
competitions in history. It was the first year that the Verbier Ride
achieved IFSA World Freeskiing Tour status and the event also saw Tom Dunbar
throw down one of the highest ever line scores in freeskiing event
history. The Verbier Ride has never been shown in the cinema so this will
be a one off chance to see the best ever Verbier Ride on the big
screen. http://www.verbierride.com
