‘Carajita,’ ‘Tigre’ Co-Director Silvina Schnicer Discusses Her Horror-Influenced Family Thriller ‘The Cottage’
'The Cottage' is Schnicer's first outing as a solo director, and screens in competition at this week's Marrakech Film Festival.
The film follows an upper-middle-class family in Argentina as they visit their vacation home in a rural neighborhood, only to find that squatters have been using the building and left it in an unpleasant state. Variety caught up with Schnicer ahead of this week’s screenings to discuss her first solo outing, why the family structure makes for such rich storytelling material and the importance of solidarity in the Latin American film industry. On “Mi Bestia” (Colombia), “Carajita” (Dominican Republic) and now “La Quinta” (Chile), you worked with filmmakers and co-producers from other Latin American countries.
