Following up his 2020 BAFTA win for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer, Mark Jenkins returns with the chilling folk horror hit Enys Men!
Living on an island off the Cornish coast, a wildlife volunteer's daily observations of a rare flower take a dark turn into the strange and metaphysical, forcing her to question what is real and what is a nightmare.
Shot by Jenkin on grainy 16mm color film stock and with his trademark post-synched sound, the form feels both innovative and authentic to the period. Filmed on location around the disused tin mines of West Penwith, it is also an ode to Cornwall's rich folklore and natural beauty.
