Marie Losier - Felix in Wonderland / The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye

Marie Losier has made film portraits of such avant-garde artists as filmmakers Guy Maddin and The Kuchar brothers, theater director Richard Foreman; and composer / filmmaker Tony Conrad. Whimsical, poetic, dreamlike and unconventional, her films explore the life and work of these artists through an endless variety of cinematic means. Losier lives and works in New York and has been the film curator at FIAF since 2000.

“Everyday life was transformed into a kind of show, something theatrical. I think this is where life and documentary come together, without being forced. I learned from some of the most extravagant people! ” (Marie Losier, from an interview in the 48-page booklet.)
