Gypo is a 2005 British independent film written and directed by Jan Dunn. Its story details the breakdown of a family in a small town in Britain, told in three narratives. Within a structured screenplay the dialogue throughout was improvised.
Although the movement was dissolved in 2005, the filmmakers continued to develop independent and experimental films using or influenced the concept, which being the first film made in the post-Dogme 95 movement.
The story is seen through the eyes of Paul and Helen, a married couple, and Tasha, a young Romani refugee from the Czech Republic. It shows the disintegration of a working-class family and the ugliness of bigotry.[1]
The production filmed entirely in Thanet in Kent at a variety of locations including East Kent College, Kingsgate Bay, Margate, Pegwell Bay, Port of Ramsgate, Ramsgate, Royal Harbour Hotel and the Wig & Pen pub.[2]
