Synopsis A journey through the edges of British cinema, Mark Jenkin: The Cornish Trilogy brings together Bait (2019), Enys Men (2023), and Rose of Nevada (2025) in a three disc Blu ray collection that captures one of the most distinctive filmmaking voices of the century. This box set celebrates Jenkin’s handcrafted aesthetic—grainy 16mm textures, tactile soundscapes, and a fiercely independent spirit—while showcasing the evolution of a director who has redefined what regional cinema can be.Bait, the breakout masterpiece that won Jenkin a Bafta, is a raw and riveting portrait of a Cornish fishing village caught between tradition and gentrification. Enys Men pushes further into the uncanny, blending folk horror and experimental filmmaking into a haunting meditation on isolation, landscape, and memory. Completing the trilogy, Rose of Nevada expands Jenkin’s vision while retaining his unmistakable visual language, offering a bold, atmospheric tale that deepens his reputation as a singular storyteller.Extras • Audio commentaries on all three films by Mark Jenkin and critic Mark Kermode• Bait Q&A with Mark Jenkin (2019, 33 mins)• A selection of short films by Mark Jenkin, chosen by the director to accompany the Blu-ray release of Bait: Dear Marianne (2015, 6 mins), The Essential Cornishman (2015, 6 mins), and The Road to Zennor (2016, 2 mins)• The Saving of Bill Blewitt (1936, 25 mins)• Scenes in the Cornish Riviera (c1912, 19 mins)• Mark Jenkin and Mary Woodvine in conversation with Mark Kermode (2022, 29 mins): the film’s director and its star discuss the making of Enys Men• Film Sounds (2023, 86 mins): Mark Jenkin and Peter Strickland (Berberian Sound Studio) discuss the subtleties of sound in film• Recording the Score (2022, 6 mins): Mark Jenkin at work on the film’s distinctive soundtrack• Mark Jenkin’s audio diaries (2022, 90 mins): the director charts his filmmaking process• The Duchy of Cornwall (1938, 15 mins): the strange beauty of Cornwall resonates through this iconic film• Haunters of the Deep (1984, 61 mins): a Children’s Film Foundation adventure that shares many West Cornwall locations with Enys Men, and made quite an impression on Mark Jenkin• Rose of Nevada Q&A (2026, 37 mins): director Mark Jenkin and actors George MacKay and Callum Turner discuss the making of the film in an onstage Q&A filmed at BFI Southbank• The Jenkin Way (2025, 17 mins): behind-the-scenes during the making of Rose of Nevada• Mark Jenkin in conversation with Rowan Woods (2026, 15 mins): on memory, community and the creative freedom of short filmmaking• I Saw the Face of God in the Jetwash (Mark Jenkin, 2025, 17 mins)• A Dog Called Discord (Mark Jenkin, 2023, 23 mins)• Vertical Shapes in a Horizontal Landscape (Mark Jenkin, 2018, 5 mins)• David Bowie is Dead (Mark Jenkin, 2018, 17 mins)• Between the Tides (1958, 21 mins): a mesmerising Technicolor study of intertidal life on Britain’s rocky southwest coast, produced by British Transport Films• Helping the Earth: Cry (1992, 1 min): a hand-painted public information film about global warming, glimpsed in Rose of Nevada• Trailers• Rose of Nevada stills gallery• All three features include optional English descriptive subtitles• Optional audio description on Enys Men and Rose of Nevada• Illustrated booklet with archive essays on Bait and Enys Men by Jessica Kiang and Tara Judah, newly commissioned essay on Rose of Nevada by Rafa Sales Ross, and writing on Mark Jenkin’s short films by Tara Judah and Jesse Cumming
