European Premiere for Topp Twins Movie
Following the film’s award
winning success at the Toronto International Film Festival
(Cadillac People’s Choice Award – Documentary) and the
Melbourne International Film Festival (Audience Award –
Documentary), The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls has
been invited to screen at the prestigious International
Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam
(IDFA).
Director Leanne Pooley will attend as a
guest of the Festival to present the film to audiences.
“I am very excited to be screening Topp Twins – Untouchable Girls at IDFA as it is the most prestigious documentary festival in the world and the audiences are really discerning, which is great for a filmmaker”, says director Leanne Pooley. “It will be interesting to see how the humour goes down in a non-English speaking country, but I feel confident the Twins will charm them in Amsterdam just like they did in Canada and Australia!”
Released in NZ earlier this year, The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls is the most popular New Zealand feature of the year and the most successful documentary to ever screen theatrically in New Zealand.
