🎥 Special Event: Q&A with Sebastian Sharples, Director of Photography

Top Spot, the debut feature film by Dame Tracey Emin, is an evocative exploration of teenage life in the seaside town of Margate. Through a poetic and fragmented narrative, the film paints a vivid portrait of adolescence, revealing the fragile interplay between moments of joy, discovery, and the shadows cast by societal pressures and personal trauma.

Emin captures Margate’s weathered beauty, using its iconic landscapes as a backdrop to the unfolding stories of six teenage girls navigating their turbulent coming-of-age experiences. The film examines themes of sexual discovery, shame, and resilience, blending raw interviews with the atmospheric sights and sounds of the seaside: fairground rides, beach games, neon signs, and the ceaseless cries of gulls.

As the girls’ stories intertwine, the narrative touches on the enduring marks left by fleeting encounters, societal expectations, and the search for identity in a small-town world. The result is a celebration of Margate’s faded charm and a deeply personal meditation on youth, memory, and place.

Join us for this special screening, followed by an insightful Q&A with Sebastian Sharples, the film's Director of Photography.
