The Making of Society of the Snow

Director J.A. Bayona discusses his latest film — and the country of Spain’s official submission to this year’s Academy Awards — “Society of the Snow.”

Director of Photography Pedro Luque and Sound Designer Oriol Tarragó also join us to discuss how they crafted this riveting retelling of the infamous 1972 Andes flight disaster, where a team of rugby players from Uraguay had to do the unthinkable to survive. Realism was big priority for Bayona, so the production was a challenging, sometimes even grueling experience.
