Society of the Snow is a movie that explores life, and
00:14
you cannot talk about life without talking about death.
00:17
It's not afraid of getting into those dark places to find light, to find love.
00:23
[FOREIGN]
00:33
But then in 2009, I read Society of the Snow, the book from Pablo Bierzi,
00:38
and I realized that the story was bigger than what I thought it was.
00:43
[FOREIGN]
00:45
And then I met the survivors, and after hours of interviews,
00:48
I realized that what hasn't been told is that part of the experience of those who
00:53
never had the chance to tell the story.
00:55
[FOREIGN]
01:02
When we told the survivors and the families of the victims the idea,
01:06
which was to play the story from a perspective that would put everybody
01:10
on the same level of importance, not only the survivors, but
01:13
also those who never came back.
01:15
Everybody was very supportive of the story, and
01:18
their help was fundamental to us.
01:20
It took us ten years to tell the story the right way, shot in Spanish,
01:26
using local actors and known faces to be as close as possible to the reality.

01:49
>> Those emotions make their work harder, but
01:52
at the same time, easier to get to the performance we were looking for.
01:56
We shot chronologically so they were able to be losing weight in front of camera.
02:01
[FOREIGN]
02:07
[MUSIC]
02:10
>> I wanted to move freely all the time.
02:13
I want to be able to tell the story in a very documentary style.
02:18
We went three times to shoot in the Andes to reproduce the exact geography on
02:22
the story, but also to explain the atmosphere, the cold, the hunger,
02:28
the loneliness.
02:29
[MUSIC]
02:32
We needed to tell the context.
02:33
You cannot understand this story if you don't tell the context.
02:38
[FOREIGN]
02:44
>> We had a lot of information, pictures.
02:47
The makeup team was able to talk with the survivors about the story,
02:51
to talk about the details.
02:53
I was all the time with the actors looking more for small gestures or
02:58
details that will tell the story, this idea that anything can happen on set.
03:03
[FOREIGN]
03:11
>> You're giving the audience the chance to feel it.
03:14
By feeling that empathy towards them, then we would be able to understand
03:19
what they went through and what they did in the mountain.
03:22
[FOREIGN]
03:28
>> I remember a beautiful line from the survivor.
03:30
He said, reality is not enough, only fantasy can explain the story.
03:37
So I believe that somehow through cinema we can explain better
03:44
the reality of what happened.
