Winner of 2023 IF3 "Best Urban Segment" starring Alex Hall and Hunter Hess. The third installment of the Magma Trilogy.
Faction’s third feature film explores the foundations of freeskiing as seen by the current generation – from caves in the Dolomites to the nightscapes of Ruka and the mythic peaks surrounding Verbier.
Adventuring to undiscovered peaks together, plotting midnight-raids on inner-city handrails, lapping your home run until that last ray of sunshine disappears behind a distant ridge - Skiing is Collective. Some call it a tribe mentality, others call it a shared sense of purpose. This film is our definition, written by a diverse team, each with their own ideas, their own forms of expression. "The Collective" is more than a sum of its parts. No matter who you are or where you come from - it feels good to be part of something special.
Alex Hall, known as A Hall, is an American freestyle skier from Alaska. During the 2022 Beijing Olympics he won the Olympic gold medal for slopestyle.
