Mark Jenkin’s new timeslip feature to be previewed in Bristol
Rose of Nevada, the third feature by Cornish Bait and Enys Man director Mark Jenkin, is to be previewed in Bristol in advance of its nationwide release on April 24. Once again, it was shot on 16mm using a Bolex clockwork camera.

The film title is the name of a fishing boat which reappears in its old, now distressed, harbour 30 years after it and its crew were lost at sea in a storm. Villagers who remember better times take it as a sign the Rose of Nevada needs to go out again and perhaps change the community’s fortunes. Jobless young father Nick (George MacKay, whose credits include 1917) and enigmatic drifter Liam (Callum Turner) sign up for the trip with captain Murgey (Francis Magee). But when they return, satisfied with a hold full of fish, time has slipped, the harbour is bustling, and they are greeted as if they are the original crew.
“It’s fantastic that Rose of Nevada premiered in Venice and has since gone on to screen at a host of international festivals,” says Jenkin. “But it’s really important for me that Cornish and regional audiences get the chance to see it as soon as possible and so I’m excited to be personally taking the movie out to local cinemas ahead of the official release.”
The preview takes place at the Watershed and other cinemas TBC. Watch this space for more details as we get them.
