CGiii Comment

There's a damn fine idea...screaming to be fully developed.

The cinematography is - in place - impressive. The sound is a bit of an issue.

It could have been a whole lot more than it is...still, worthy for development.


Trailer... 

The(ir) Blurb...

A gay asylum seeker journeys into a queer underground club to get the evidence he needs to prove his sexuality to the authorities. Instead he relives his traumatic past on the dancefloor. Synopsis: After fleeing for his life, a gay refugee files for asylum in Scotland. Lacking evidence, he decides to photograph himself in the dark techno world of a queer underground scene. Based on accounts of real-life African LGBT refugees and the challenges they face during the asylum process, Crypsis is a raw depiction of a grim reality obscured by vitriolic public debate about refugees and the broken system that surrounds them.
