SUMMARY:Hot Docs: Antidiva - The Carole Pope Confessions
DESCRIPTION:Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival presents t
 he World Premiere of Antidiva: The Carole Pope Confessions by director Mic
 helle Mama.\n\nIn Toronto’s vibrant music\, art and fashion scene of the
  1970s and 1980s\, Carole Pope made her mark with the new wave band Rough 
 Trade\, which produced bold\, boundary-breaking music delivered with a sex
 y punk edge. “High School Confidential\,” the band’s breakthrough hi
 t\, did something not many had done before: it featured an openly queer pe
 rformer fearlessly expressing lesbian desire on daytime radio. Now in her 
 70s\, Pope continues to channel her creativity into new forms. Her latest 
 project is a musical that draws on her life and career with Rough Trade\, 
 as well as the story of her beloved late brother Howard\, himself a celebr
 ated musician and AIDS activist. Told with refreshing candour and drawn in
  part from Pope’s autobiography\, her story pulses with backstage seduct
 ions and on-stage swagger. Featuring interviews with celebrity friends lik
 e Peaches\, k.d. Lang\, Jann Arden and Rufus Wainwright\, Antidiva: The Ca
 role Pope Confessions is a long overdue cinematic tribute to a fierce and 
 talented queer maverick.\n\ncost: $24-$27 at Hot Docs\n\nmore info: Hot Do
