Society of the Snow film to close the Venice Film Festival in September

Bayona’s film “La Sociedad de la Nieve” will close the Venice Film Festival.

It is a survival thriller based on a true story: in 1972, Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, which was to transport a rugby team to Chile, crashed in the heart of the Andes. Only 29 of the 45 in the crash survived.

It will be shown in the Sala Grande of the Palazzo del Cinema at the end of the festival as part of the unofficial section.

Costume designer: Julio Suárez

Costumes: Peris Costumes

We are grateful and proud to have been part of this project. With this step Bayona takes a step forward in his professional career by putting the finishing touch to the mythical Festival, starting point in the race for the Oscars, with his production for Netflix.
