QDoc Film Festival: Antidiva:The Carole Pope Confessions
About the event
Three-time Juno Award-winning queer rock icon Carole Pope was singing openly about lesbian desire on daytime radio before the culture had any idea what to do with her. As frontwoman of Rough Trade, Pope tore through 1970s and ’80s Toronto with sexually charged lyrics, punk-glam swagger and a refusal to make herself more palatable. Decades later, she’s still writing, performing and pushing back. Director Michelle Mama (Summer Qamp) follows Pope as she reckons with aging, love, loss and an industry that never quite knew where to put her. With electrifying archival footage and interviews with k.d. lang, Peaches, Jann Arden and Rufus Wainwright, "Antidiva" is funny, sexy and defiantly alive.
