Chile’s Maite Alberdi on Her Debut Fiction Pic, Netflix Original ‘El Lugar de la Otra,’ Bound for San Sebastian (EXCLUSIVE)
Chile’s Maite Alberdi vies for the Concha de Oro in San Sebastian’s official competition with her debut fiction pic,‘El lugar de la otra.’
But it also had its perks: it took her only a month to shoot the drama while it has taken her an average of five years each time to complete a documentary, two of which, “The Eternal Memory” and “The Mole Agent,” have garnered Oscar nominations. Alberdi’s film, a Netflix Original produced by Chilean powerhouse shingle Fabula (“El Conde,” “Spencer”), focuses on the case of novelist Maria Carolina Geel who killed her lover in front of stunned diners at the Hotel Crillón in the early ‘50s. Like us, she seeks to find her own space in order to evolve and create,” Alberdi mused, adding: “The film also reflects on the classism and patriarchy that continue to prevail in Chilean society.”
