For the past 17 years, Marie Losier has captured the dynamic and provocative essence of Peaches, the trailblazing feminist queer icon.

This intimate portrait offers a deep dive into the life of an inspiring, taboo-shattering artist. Discover Peaches’ electrifying concerts, her close bond with her sister and how her boundless energy, fearless exploration on and off stage has transformed every phase of her life into a captivating work of art.

Director

Marie Losier (France, 1972), is a filmmaker who’s worked in New York City for 23 years and has shown her films and videos at museums, galleries, biennials and festivals. She has made a number of 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 be shown at prestigious venues such as Cannes Film Festival, Le Jeu de Paume, Berlinale, Rotterdam Film Festival, IDFA, The Tate Modern, MoMA, Le Palais de Tokyo, Le Centre Georges Pompidou.

She had a retrospective of her films at MoMA - Museum of Modern Art in 2018 in NYC, and a retrospective at Le Jeu De Paume - the Museum of Contemporary Art in Paris in 2019.
Her latest film, Cassandro The Exotico!, premiered at Cannes Film Festival in 2018 (ACID CANNES).

Her work is also represented by Anne Barrault’s Galerie in Paris. Marie Losier is preparing two solo exhibitions for Le Creux de L’Enfer in Thiers for October 2024, and at the Contemporary Museum/Transpalette in Bourges for 2025.

“An intimate and unconventional doc… Shines a new light on Peaches’s own creative approach.”
“Neon-streaked brand of sex-positive feminism is celebrated by Marie Losier… An anti-biographical portrait” that doubles as a record of the decades-long friendship between the two women.”

ANOTHER MAGAZINE
“The most intimate and unpublished aspect of Peaches' life… A documentary with a punk inclination like that of its protagonists… Peaches Goes Bananas is also a reflection on the need to accept our body in all its transformations… Reminds us to accept the passing of time and continue to live life with a punk attitude.”
