Felix in Wonderland (2019, 49′) + Barking in the Dark (2025,43′)

Marie Losier is a filmmaker, visual artist and long-time devotee of experimental music. Her films are created in close collaboration with their subjects, marked by a rare and touching sense of intimacy and empathy. “Filming the creative process of sound and music, their performance and imagination, is what gives me the impulse to make films with and about musicians. I try to invent, through images, what sound can do to the body. To translate the magic of music into cinema. I film in 16mm without synchronised sound, which allows me to create my own soundtracks during editing, using foley and compositions that add another layer of life’s colour. For this exhibition, I’m presenting a series of film boxes – individual cinemas inhabited by outtakes from my filmed portraits of musicians I’ve been connected with through friendship for over two decades. Eyes wide open and ears delightfully awakened.” — Marie Losier

Two of her feature films – Felix in Wonderland (2019, with and about experimental musician Felix Kubin) and Barking in the Dark (2025, with and about The Residents) – will be screened at Cinémas du Grütli, followed by a discussion with Marie Losier and her producer Mathilde Delaunay.
