I think this film will interest John Waters fans. The Film Collaborative / Automat Pictures recently released stills for the upcoming documentary "I Am Divine", which recently made it Quebec premiere at the festival. The film has recently played the 2013 SXSW and Sheffield Documentary Film Festivals. It's the latest film from director Jeffrey Schwarz (Spinetingler: The William Castle Story) and profiles the life and career of Divine, who stared in various John Water's films such as "Pink Flamingos", "Hairspray" and "Polyester" The film's upcoming screening for 7/3 is sold out.

Plot Synopsis:
Harris Glenn Milstead, aka DIVINE (1945-1988) was the ultimate outsider turned underground hero. Spitting in the face of the status quos of body image, gender identity, sexuality, and preconceived notions of beauty, Divine succeeded in becoming an internationally recognized icon, recording artist, and character actor of stage and screen. Glenn went from the often-mocked, schoolyard fat kid to underdog royalty, standing up for millions of gay men and women, drag queens and punk rockers, and countless other socially ostracized misfits and freaks. With a completely committed in-your-face style, he blurred the line between performer and personality, and revolutionized pop culture.
