You’re invited to join us for a theatrical screening of Society of the Snow, followed by an in-person conversation with writer/director J.A. Bayona, actor Enzo Vogrincic, cinematographer Pedro Luque, composer Michael Giacchino and real-life survivor Roberto Canessa, moderated by James Gray.

In 1972, the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, chartered to fly a rugby team to Chile, catastrophically crashes on a glacier in the heart of the Andes. Only 29 of the 45 passengers survived the crash and, finding themselves in one of the world’s toughest environments, they are forced to resort to extreme measures to stay alive.

Society of the Snow was an official selection of the 2023 Venice Film Festival and the 2023 San Sebastian Film Festival, and is Spain’s official submission for Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards.

The film will open in theaters in December, and on Netflix on January 4, 2024.
