One of the most moving films of the year. And not only when it comes to short films. The open secret of the last Berlinale. “The hospital welcomes me as a medical miracle. It feels ungrateful to admit I’m not very keen on living to doctors who’ve done everything to save me. I’ve been cured, but not without being physically and mentally damaged during the treatment. Now, I search for traces of illness between scars and desires.”
Marthe Peters
Marthe Peters is a Dutch filmmaker living in Gent, Belgium. In 2023 she graduated from KASK, Gent. Departing from intimacy she depicts her daily reality in an abstract and fragmented way. Her practice is marked by playing with intuitive material in order to question the stereotypical representation of the female body. Her films centre around the banal as something important and worthy, in search of solace and care for one another.
