Henry is a Girl Who Likes to Sleep

Marthe Peters | 2026 | 13′

SYNOPSIS

In a small interior space where bodies constantly yearn for sleep, the filmmaker seeks in her beloved Henry something soft and tender to inhabit, a little fur to retreat into. Between bedsheets and freckles, a love declaration emerges, a fragile collage tracing a pathway between intimacy, vulnerability, and warmth. An ode to our captive pets, and to the intimate worlds where we learn to live and to rest.

BIOGRAPHY

Marthe Peters

Marthe Peters is a Dutch filmmaker based in Ghent, Belgium. In 2023, she graduated from the KASK School of Arts in Ghent. Her graduation film, Baldilocks, premiered at the 74th Berlinale and has screened at festivals such as Courtisane, Karlovy Vary, Seminci in Valladolid, Lago Film Fest, and the Barbican, among others. From an intimate perspective, her work portrays everyday reality in an abstract and fragmented way. Her practice is characterized by a playful use of intuitive materials to challenge stereotypical representations of the body. Her films elevate the mundane to something important and valuable, in a constant search for comfort and mutual care.
