Anecdotes

Bald Mountain is a 2013 Brazilian Western drama film co-written and directed by Heitor Dhalia, starring Juliano Cazarré, Júlio Andrade, Sophie Charlotte, Wagner Moura, and Matheus Nachtergaele.

Production

The director Heitor Dhalia said to UOL that Serra Pelada was the hardest movie he ever made. "When I had the idea of the film, I thought: ' why had nobody thought of doing this movie before? ' And when I was filming I understood why. It was almost impossible to be done. It was very complex. It was the hardest film I've ever done".

According to Dhalia, it was hard to tell the story of a camp which focused on men living in precarious conditions and facing orders from the owners of the operating areas.

"We're talking about a fairly important Brazilian event of our recent history. The biggest gold rush of the modern era. Highest concentration of manual labor since the pyramids of Egypt, which had 4,000 men. In Serra Pelada there were around 100,000 men working".

The film was going to be shot in Pará, but ended up being filmed in Paulínia, São Paulo, after Vale and the Amazonian State Government denied support for the production.

The producer Tatiana Quintella confirmed that Vale vetoed the filming in Pará, but explained that running the production there would have been unworkable. "We had no budget for the logistics and security of our team. So we decided to shoot the film in São Paulo".
