Enys Men 2022
Mark Jenkin
Enys Men CERT 15
From visionary filmmaker Mark Jenkin, the Bafta award-winning director of Bait.
Enys Men is a mind-bending Cornish folk horror set in 1973 that unfolds on an uninhabited island off the Cornish coast. A wildlife volunteer’s (Mary Woodvine) daily observations of a rare flower take a dark turn into the strange and metaphysical, forcing both her and viewers to question what is real and what is nightmare. Is the landscape not only alive but sentient?
Shot by Jenkin on grainy 16mm colour 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.

St Mary's Lighthouse:
It's a special space to watch a film and in fact dictates the dates of our festival each year (tide wise) !
The screenings take place in the room on the first floor, to the side of the tower (not in the tower itself). Access is via a flight of stairs. Unfortunately there is no disabled access to our screenings in this venue.
The venue is not a traditional screening space. It seats around 45 and gets quite warm...
Care must be taken when leaving the island across the causeway, in the dark. Staff are there to assist if required.
We find that the option of ordering fish and chips at a Lighthouse screening is very popular If you'd like to order fish and chips (some Lighthouse events only) please arrive at the stated 'doors opening' time. Pantrini's deliver the orders during the screening (we try and be discreet when alerting you in the dark, so choosing side aisle seats would help us greatly with this).
We'd like to thank Adam Kelsey (Lighthouse Manager) for his continued support with these screenings over the years. Thank you!
Thanks to North Tyneside Council.
