De stilte vanuit zijn kant was zo luid dat het drie bedden in mij bezet hield is a Dutch poetry film about the fabrication of an online, sexual relationship.
Eng title: His silence sounded so loud, it occupied three beds inside me. ‘De stilte vanuit zijn kant was zo luid dat ik dacht dat het drie bedden in mij bezet hield’ premiered in February 2024.
When a female artist sends in a nude self-portrait to an art magazine, she gets in contact with one of the writers. They fabricate an online, intimate relationship that rapidly changes when they start writing sexual stories about each other.
The film reflects on the raw speed at which a (sexual) relationship can be fabricated online.
Confronted with her own experiences, Chiara digs into the shame she had experienced when nurturing this form of relationship.
How far will you stretch your feelings of safety for the fantasy that appears as a firm promise?
