Mark Jenkin Season

Mark Jenkin’s west country-set, off-kilter features are very distinct, but explore common themes. We're showing three of them this July. This year’s Rose of Nevada sees two fishermen locked in a time loop, Bait explores tourism and family conflict through 16mm monochrome, while Enys Men is a rural, mind-bending folk horror.

Jenkin's focus is on gentrification, fishing communities, displacement, and magickal weirdness. Sound familiar, Hastings?

Rose of Nevada is the third film in Mark Jenkin’s Cornish trilogy, this time-slipping, unsettling ghost ship story explores a claustrophobic coastal community.

Bait was our first taste of Mark Jenkin’s dreamlike style. A poetic, tense dissection of the DFLs-meet-Cornish-locals culture clash.

The uncanny middle film in Mark Jenkin’s Cornish trilogy. A lone island wildlife volunteer is haunted by the past and consumed by the landscape.
