TPH Presents BEATS WORKING: A MUSIC DOC FESTIVAL

Filmed during The Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour in 2022, this documentary seamlessly weaves together exclusive archival gems with dynamic tour footage capturing the transformative journey of Canadian Merrill Nisker into the internationally acclaimed cultural powerhouse Peaches.

From the inception of the stage show to the rigorous rehearsals and riveting performances, the film provides an intimate look at the inner workings of a tour led by this beloved and globally celebrated icon. As a feminist musician, producer, director, and performance artist, Peaches has spent over two decades challenging gender stereotypes, solidifying her status alongside pop and music industry icons. Her fearless originality has challenged social norms, dismantled stereotypes, and confronted patriarchal power structures. Through biting wit, she advocates for LGBTQIA+ rights and tackles issues of gender and sexual identity, leaving an indelible mark on popular culture.

The screening on Friday November 8th will be preceded by a DJ set from DJ Jim Westlake and on Saturday the 9th, none other than FeeB Squared.

BEATS WORKING is a music documentary film festival curated by Thornbury Picture House and it celebrates the year’s greatest music documentaries, hand picked from the best film festivals.
