Fun, satirical and a pastiche of the chaotic, brash, self-deprecating and clueless 1990s/2000s British reality TV, TOPS sees self-proclaimed future award winning filmmaker Amy Pennington present their landmark faux-documentary. Casting themselves as an invasive TV presenter, Amy goes on a satirical odyssey through the lives and homes of four unique individuals, exploring the crucial question that defines trans masc experience, “What TOP did you wanna wear after TOP surgery?”.

Q&A with filmmakers after the film, with BSL interpretation.
