Crypsis backdrop

Crypsis 2019 Directed by Christopher McGill

A gay asylum seeker is triggered as he attempts to prove his sexuality to the home office.

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.
