In this episode, we have a conversation with the visionary filmmaker that is Mark Jenkin.

Mark Kermode referred to his debut feature film, Bait (2019) as a "genuine modern masterpiece, which establishes Jenkin as one of the most arresting and intriguing British film-makers of his generation.”

The film premiered at Berlinale, and won him the BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.

His unique style and methods make for strikingly powerful short films. Some of our favourites are David Bowie is Dead, Dear Marianne, and Hard Cracked the Wind (all available on BFI Player.) He’s also made music videos for the likes of Thom Yorke’s new project The Smile and Bicep.

Mark’s most recent film is Enys Men, a mind-bending Cornish folk horror set on an island off the Cornish coast. It is released on Blu-ray & DVD (Dual Format Edition) and on BFI Player on 8 May.

We talk about a range of topics, including his process, his opinions on shorts, his history with them, and of course the brilliant Enys Men.

This was truly a very special episode for us. We walked away from it with our minds blown, inspired and excited about the possibilities of filmmaking. Mark is an innovator, and one to keep a close eye on. He’s also a lovely guy!

A massive thank you to the great London Short Film Festival, who were instrumental in setting this conversation up. Please find the link to their website here:
