PEACHES GOES BANANAS

Marie Losier | Belgium, France | 2024 | 73' | OmenglUT

For 17 years, she accompanied the pioneering queer-feminist icon "Peaches " on film. The result is an intimate portrait of the inspiring artist who breaks many taboos. Peaches' electrifying concerts, her close bond with her family, her energy and her fearless exploration on and off stage seem to transform every phase of her life into a captivating work of art. Using exclusive private archive footage and spectacular footage of her performances, the film charts Canadian Merrill Nisker's journey to becoming the internationally acclaimed artist "Peaches". As a feminist musician, producer, director and performance artist, "Peaches"has dedicated herself to the fight against gender stereotypes for over two decades and cemented her status as an icon of the pop and music industry. Her fearless originality challenges social norms, shattering stereotypes and patriarchal power structures. With biting humor and sharp wit, she champions LGBTQIA+ rights, brings gender and sexual identity issues into focus and leaves a lasting impression on pop culture.
