Pop MONTREAL 2022
POP Montreal is an annual music festival occurring in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in the early fall, usually at the end of September or the beginning of October. More than 400 bands are scheduled to play in more than 50 venues across the city, mostly located in the Mile End area. Along with music, POP Montreal has music-related film (Film Pop), art events (Art Pop) as well as a conference (POP Symposium) and a cultural fair called Puces Pop.[1][2] The initial festival in 2002 saw 80 musical acts performed in 40 venues around Saint Laurent Boulevard.[3]
The name of the festival was inspired by the Halifax Pop Explosion.
Since its creation by Daniel Seligman, Noelle Sorbara, and Peter Rowan in 2002,[4][5] Pop Montreal has presented concerts of important rock, indie-rock, alternative, hip hop and folk artists from North America and Europe as Beck, Billy Childish, Interpol, TTC or Franz Ferdinand along with local favorites The Dears, Les Breastfeeders, We Are Wolves, Arcade Fire and The Unicorns.
Co-founder Daniel Seligman, whose brother Chris Seligman is the keyboardist of the band Stars, serves as the festival's creative director

Nothing Compares
Cinéma Moderne
Nothing Compares
Kathryn Ferguson | Ireland / UK, 2022 | 97 min
SEPT 30, 6:00 PM, Cinéma Moderne
Has there ever been an artist so roundly condemned and then so wholly vindicated as Sinéad O'Connor? Nothing Compares makes a convincing and harrowing argument in the singer-songwriter's favour. At just 23 years old, the unclassifiable Belfast-born musician topped world charts and became a household name. O'Connor used her platform to excoriate some of the world's most safeguarded institutions, condemning the Gulf War, systemic racism, and the Catholic Church's rampant abuse of women and children. Her efforts were initially brushed off, but her continued refusal to back down provoked a universal response. She was made into a pariah, a hysteric, and a joke. But in her own words, when they buried her, they didn't realize she was a seed.

CALLIARI Screening Discussion: Language and Belonging
Rialto Hall
CALLIARI (presented at Film POP this year) explores the elements that have shaped and challenged Marco Calliari's career and identity during his prolific career in Canada and abroad. This panel dives into these same questions, asking: can songwriters from Quebec's cultural, linguistic and Indigenous plurality carve out a place for themselves in the music industry of Quebec?
With Marco Calliari, Anita Alosio, Agata de Santis, Aïsha Vertus, and Paul Cargnello
