Unsettling and awe-inspiring, the coastal region is proving itself to be a great landscape for terrifying tales.
The Big Picture Cornwall is the English county famed for its stunning coastal beauty and historic villages which have turned it into a sought-after destination. However, more recently it may be recognized as being the home of innovative, startling, and vaguely unsettling cinema. Mark Jenkin is the one to thank for the bold new addition to cinema, as the inventive director hailing from Cornwall who also fits the description of a skillful screenwriter, cinematographer, and producer.
It is many of these issues that Mark Jenkin presents in Bait, which follows the local fisherman Martin Ward , who has lost his boat and childhood home - and later in the film, tragically, a close family member.
Mark Jenkin Uses Vintage Filming Techniques Used to Startling Effect Cornwall is immortalized strikingly through Mark Jenkin's gaze. Shot in monochrome, and on 16mm film, Bait is a visually original artwork, taking old styles of filming and birthing them anew. Enys Men is also captured using the same process, except in color. The result in both films is distinct, demonstrating Jenkin's instinctually unique style.
Mark Jenkin's Cinematic Worlds Are Distinctly Vintage & Timeless While Bait is set in the present day, and Enys Men in 1973, the only evidence of Bait's present-day setting is the occasional glimpse of a mobile phone or a laptop. Other than this, both films seem to hearken back to times past, whilst floating in a time all of their own.
