Venice Doc ‘Peaches Goes Bananas’ Lands at Sales Banner Best Friend Forever (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comElsa Keslassy International Correspondent Brussels-based company Best Friend Forever has boarded international sales for Marie Losier’s documentary feature “Peaches Goes Bananas” ahead of its world premiere at the Venice Days sidebar running alongside the film festival.
For “Peaches Goes Bananas,” Losier followed Merrill Nisker — the trailblazing feminist queer icon, musician and producer known as Peaches — off and on stage.
An intimate portrait, the documentary showcases Peaches’ concerts, her bond with her sister Suri and her creative process. Losier is best known for directing critically lauded documentaries including “The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye,” which won the Teddy Award at the Berlinale in 2011; “Cassandro El Exotico!,” winner of the Cannes ACID section in 2018; and “Felix in Wonderland,” which had its world premiere in Locarno in 2019.
Losier’s work has also been celebrated with a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2018, where all her films were acquired for the museum’s archives; as well as at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Paris a year later.
