Alicia Scherson (born Santiago, Chile, 1974) is a Chilean film director, screenwriter, and producer.[1]

Biography

Scherson studied filmmaking in the Escuela de Cine de Cuba[2] and in 1999 received a Fulbright Scholarship to get a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Illinois at Chicago.[3][4]

Scherson's debut film Play was awarded Best Director at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival.[5] The Times called Play a "doozy of a showreel," but also criticized its "sketchy emotional construction."[6] Scherson's second film, Tourists, was selected for the 2009 Tiger Awards Competition.[7]

Scherson is currently collaborating with author Alejandro Zambra on Vida de Familia, a film based on one of his stories.[8]
