OFFICIAL PROGRAM MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER
Created in 2007, the IF3 Festival quickly grew into one of the world’s marquee freeski film events, showcasing the cinematographic talent and skills of athletes from here and around the globe. Today, the festival draw crowds from every sector of the ski community: athletes, producers, photographers, industry representatives and sports enthusiasts and ski and snowboard freeriders of all ages from over 20 countries. With three days of festivities, IF3 helps drive the democratiza- tion of sport and contributes to the vitality of Montréal—and of Québec as a whole. The Government of Québec gladly and proudly encourages this dynamic and fruitful initiative. Congratulations to the promoters, who have suc- ceeded in turning IF3 into a major international gathering. I wish you all an excellent festival and an unforgettable stay in the Montréal region and invite you to come discover—or rediscover— Québec’s fantastic ski slopes. Have a great festival!
Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for the Mauricie region
