Abstract
Marie Losier is a filmmaker whose films operate in a space between fantasy, camp, absurdity, identity swapping, and her embrace of community. Born in 1972 in Boulogne, France, she now lives in New York City. She has been working on a series of film portraits of directors, beginning with Mike and George Kuchar in 2003. Losier is presently working on three documentary portraits, with musician Genesis P-Orridge, filmmaker Albert Maysles, and filmmaker/musician Tony Conrad. In addition to the portraits, she has created fictional short films that develop from her actors’ idiosyncrasies and are shot in campy, homemade theatrical sets. Losier’s deep love of the silent film era reveals itself as an underlying structure for her works. Her films have been screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, the Seoul Film Festival, and the Rotterdam International Film Festival. Her film The Ontological Cowboy, a portrait of Richard Foreman, was included in the 2006 Whitney Biennial. This interview was taped in Losier’s loft in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, in June 2006.
