Oscar-Nominated Documentary Filmmaker Maite Alberdi On Making Her Fiction Debut With Netflix Crime Flick ‘In Her Place’ — San Sebastian
Maite Alberdi has been nominated for the best documentary Oscar twice.
This evening in San Sebastian, however, Alberdi launches her first departure from the factual world with In Her Place(El Lugar de la Otra), a cunning and deceptively ambitious crime romp she has directed for Netflix. The film’s story is based on the true tale of Chilean writer María Carolina Geel who, in 1955, killed her lover at a high-class hotel in the center of Santiago. Loosely inspired by the nonfiction book When Women Kill (Las homicidas) by Alia Trabucco Zerán, In Her Place has been described, around the festival, as Alberdi’s most commercial work so far.
