Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin‘s third film Rose Of Nevada is set to sail ‘home’ this month thanks to the BFI.
Unique among British feature directors for the analogue methods with which he crafts his films, Jenkin is once again writer, director, director of photography, editor, sound designer and composer on this critically acclaimed follow-up to his Bafta-winning Bait (2019) and 2022’s Enys Men.
The film has risen above expectation a very successful run at UK and Irish cinemas, Rose of Nevada will be released with a host extras which include an audio commentary by Mark Jenkin and Mark Kermode, and a filmed Q&A with Mark Jenkin, George MacKay and Callum Turner from BFI Southbank.
When the Rose of Nevada, a fishing boat lost with all hands decades earlier, mysteriously reappears in the harbour of a faded Cornish village, it seems to be a sign. The boat, it’s decided, must be put to sea again if the fortunes of the down-at-heel community are to be revived. Young father Nick (George MacKay) and enigmatic newcomer Liam (Callum Turner) join skipper Murgey (Francis Magee) and head out on their strange voyage. But when they return, it is to a place disquietingly different from the one they left behind.
