Tracy Emin's first feature film "Top Spot" is showing at the London Film Festival on the 22nd October 2004. It was shot last year with some filming taking place in Margate, including Dreamland.
The trailer can be seen from the page about the film (
http://www.lff.org.uk/films_details.php?FilmID=546) and has some footage from the Wild Mouse along with some older stock footage (Big Wheel).

Hi Paul,
Thanks for bringing this film to our attention. When the London Film Festival was sponsored by London's Evening Standard I used to be lucky to win tickets to showings on at least two occasions. I do not subscribe to its current sponsor "broadsheet" so I'll probably have to buy a ticket if I wish to see this film. (Unless of course the Standard runs another ticket giveaway promotion!)
The excerpt on the event website looked pretty good, with some nice shots of Margate and Dreamland.
