Marthe Peters is a Dutch filmmaker living in Ghent, Belgium. In 2023 she graduated from KASK, Ghent. Her graduation film Baldilocks premiered at the 74th Berlinale, with screenings at a.o. Courtisane, Karlovy Vary, Seminci Valladolid, Lago Film Fest and the Barbican.

Her film Henry is a Girl Who Likes to Sleep premiered at the Berlinale, followed by screenings at a.o. Courtisane, Open City, Indielisboa and Lago Film Fest.

From a place of intimacy Marthe’s work depicts their daily reality in an abstract and fragmented way. Her practice is marked by playing with intuitive material in order to question stereotypical representations of the body. Her films centre around the banal as something important and worthy, in search of solace and care for one-another.
