Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Best Friend Forever has dropped the trailer for Marie Losier’s documentary feature “Peaches Goes Bananas.” The feature will have its world premiere at the Venice Days sidebar running alongside the film festival.
The documentary portrays Merrill Nisker — the trailblazing feminist queer icon, musician and producer known as Peaches — off and on stage.
It showcases Peaches’ concerts, her bond with her sister Suri and her creative process. The movie also results from the friendship bond that Losier has forged with Peaches over the years. “There was a special feeling between Marie and I from the moment we met — a comfort, a joy, a creative force, a knowing,” said Peaches in a statement. “Marie’s style is all her own and I love her for that.
There are such sacred moments captured on film that I will always cherish, especially since the passing of my sister and my father,” she continued.
