'The Snow Society' from Bayona will represent Spain at the 2024 Oscars

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has revealed that 'The Snow Society', J. A. Bayona's first film for Netflix, will represent Spain in the international competition for the disputed Oscar for best foreign film, an award that Spain has not won since 'The Sea Inside' (Amenábar, 2004).

The snow society has been imposed on 20,000 species of bees, a production of Gariza Films, Start Films y Sirimiri Films with Estíbaliz Urresola Solaguren, which depicts the childhood of an eight-year-old trans girl and the process of assimilation into her family environment, and to close your eyes, Víctor Erice's first feature film in thirty years, a production of Tandem Films, Pecado Films, Pampa Films y Nautilus Films that pays tribute to cinema in all its aspects.

The story of The snow society tells the well-known story of flight 571 of the Uruguayan Air Force. Chartered in 1972 to take a rugby team to Chile, the vehicle suffered a plane accident causing it to crash into a glacier in the heart of the Andes. The film, production of Belén Atienza and Sandra Hermida, tells how the survivors of the plane crash resorted to “extreme measures” to stay alive.
