This Teddy Award–winning documentary portrait follows genderqueer Canadian electro-punk performance artist and producer Peaches on her barnstorming “Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour” in 2022. Expertly splicing together exhilarating footage from that tour with rawer footage taken from Peaches’ breakthrough years two decades prior, it’ll come as no surprise to learn that co-director Judy Landkammer was not only this hyperkinetic film’s editor, but Bruce LaBruce’s on The Visitor as well. Now well into middle-age, Peaches’ career has long been abundant in joyously queer, sex-positive musical provocation and in the cultivation of chosen family. This massively entertaining, insightful film demonstrates that the patriarchy-demolishing Merrill Nisker still has plenty to teach us all, as interviews with friends and collaborators Leslie Feist, Chilly Gonzales, Garbage’s Shirley Manson and Peaches’ partner Black Cracker all attest. And lucky us – we’re treated to plenty of eye-popping, behind-the-scenes backstage action too. You came to see a rock show? You’ll get it – and much more besides!
