Her films wriggle with the energy and sweetness of a broken barrel full o\u0027 sugar worms!!!! No one makes pictures like Marie, Edith Sitwell\u0027s inner Tinkerbell !!!!!!! Guy Maddin-2008 Marie Losier\u0027s movies are as sweet and sassy as her name and well worth a gander or goose by all off beat cineastes. So beat off to a different drum and marvel at the wad of wonders that only a French woman could generate. Take a trip down a sprocketed spiral of celluloid strips into a glory hole of impressive dimensions. What pops through will surely enlarge with persistent, ocular manipulations. George Kuchar-2008 \u0022I set with a smile on my face. I wish there were more people like the character in your films, in the world. It takes you on a ride that weaves the real and surreal.\u0022 Charles Burnett-2006 Marie Losier, born in France in 1972, is a filmmaker and curator working in New York City. She has shown her films and videos at museums, galleries, biennials and festivals. She studied literature at the University of Nanterre (France) and Fine Art in New York City. She has made a number of film portraits on avant-garde directors, musicians and composers such as Mike and George Kuchar, Guy Maddin, Richard Foreman, Tony Conrad and Genesis P-Orridge. Whimsical, poetic, dreamlike and unconventional, her films explore the life and work of these artists. Her films are regularly shown at prestigious art and film festivals and museums, such as The Tate Modern, the Whitney Biennial, PS1, MOMA, The Berlin Film Festival, The International Film Festival Rotterdam, Tribeca Film Festival, The Cinemath\u00E8que Francaise and the Centre George Pompidou in Paris... She was also included in the 2006 Whitney Biennial (Whitney Museum, NY). She has started her first feature film, 5 years ago, a portrait of on the musical genius Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, and her band Psychic TV. The work in progress was presented in 2009 at The Centre George Pompidou in April to open \u0022Hors Pistes\u0022 as well as at the Cinemath\u00E8que Francaise in Paris in September. She lives and works in New York where she is film curator at the Alliance Fran\u00C1aise since 2000, where she presents a weekly film series. She has hosted many notable directors and artists, including Raoul Coutard, William Klein, Claire Denis, Chantal Akerman, Jane Birkin, and Jeanne Moreau. She also programmed experimental films at the Robert Beck Memorial Cinema and Ocularis and today programs and bring experimental films series in Europe and all over in the States.
