The past few years have drastically altered our way of life with self-isolation and social distancing, so it’s no surprise that film has moved to reflect this change.

Comparisons between Mark Jenkin’s feature film Bait and his most recent Enys Men (pronounced Enis Main) are inevitable. Bait (2019) was a hit, not only in his native Cornwall, but also across the UK; with it going on to win the BAFTA for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer that year. Bait attracted attention for the innovative use of a Bolex camera, with 16mm monochrome film that Jenkin processed by hand himself.
