Marie Losier’s latest documentary, Peaches Goes Bananas, about the singular artist and musician Peaches, is out now in theaters through Film Movement. She has worked in New York City for 23 years, making film portraits on avant-garde directors, musicians and composers, such as the Kuchar brothers, Guy Maddin, Richard Foreman, Tony Conrad, Genesis P-Orridge, Alan Vega, Peter Hristoff and Felix Kubin. Whimsical, poetic, dreamlike and unconventional, her films explore the life and work of these artists. Losier’s films have been shown at the Cannes Film Festival, the Berlinale, Rotterdam Film Festival, IDFA, the Tate Modern, Le Palais de Tokyo and Le Centre Georges Pompidou. She had a retrospective of her films at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in 2018, and a retrospective at Le Jeu De Paume, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Paris in 2019.
