THE TOPP TWINS: UNTOUCHABLE GIRLS
Thursday, September 8 at 7:30pm
Winner of the Cadillac People's Choice Award at the Toronto
International Film Festival 2009, The Topp Twins: Untouchable
Girls tells the story of the world's only comedic, singing, yodeling lesbian
twin sisters, Lynda and Jools Topp, whose political activism and unique
brand of entertainment has helped change New Zealand's social landscape.
In the process they have become well-loved cultural icons. This is
the first time that the irrepressible Kiwi entertainment double act, Jools
and Lynda Topp's extraordinary personal story has been told. As well as
rarely seen archive footage and home movies, the film features a series of
special interviews with some of the Topp's infamous comedy alter-egos
including candid chats with the two Kens, Camp Mother and Camp
Leader, the Bowling Ladies and the Posh Socialite sisters, Prue and
Dilly. The Topp Twins have attained a unique status within New Zealand
culture, and their fans range from hard core political activists, to sheep
farmers and 'Ladies who Lunch'. Their ability to relate to all kinds of people, and their natural gift for humour, has helped them cross
from the fringes to the mainstream (New Zealand, 2010, 84 min., color, 35mm)
