Top Spot is a 2004 docudrama film written and directed by Tracey Emin. It was produced by Michael Winterbottom and Revolution Films. It stars Elizabeth Crawford, Laura Curnick, Katie Foster Barnes, Frances Williams, Kieri Kennedy, and Helen Laker. Shot on digital video and Super 8, the film focuses on a group of teenage girls in the coastal English town of Margate, Emin's hometown. The plot does not follow a traditional narrative and is instead a blend of montage and recreated incidents inspired from Emin's youth. The dialogue was improvised. The title Top Spot takes its name from a Margate disco, and is also used as an explicit slang word colloquially.
