Enys Men

After making his mark on the film fest circuit with his strong auteur flair, Mark Jenkin would make the next step inroads with Bait – a Berlinale, New Directors/New Films selection. Once again using the backdrop of Cornwall, Enys Men a set in 1970s horror film was worked on during the pandemic. Actress Mary Woodvine is joined by Ed Rowe, Flo Crowe, and her dad John Woodvine.

Gist: This focuses on the issues surrounding the gentrification of a small Cornish fishing village.

Release Date/Prediction: We think this might be Berlin Film Festival title competing for the Golden Bear.
