Description
Self-proclaimed future award winning documentary filmmaker Ames Pennington presents their landmark documentary series TOPS. On the question that defines trans masc experience in the UK today... “What TOP did you wanna wear after TOP surgery?” TOPS is a genre-busting documentary (with fictionalised elements) inspired by the chaotic, brash, self-deprecating and clueless style of 1990s/2000s British TV. Presented by an ever-so-slightly desperate and lonely version of the artist Ames Pennington, who is willing to steal footwear and camp out in the gardens of interviewees for ultimate unencumbered access, and the potential of their first-ever trans friend. TOPS wants to give space to the experience of top surgery, and those that have it, without being another sad or gory story.
The film will be followed by a Q and A and drinks.
