In late March 2025 we screened Oliver Stone's 1991 epic myth of 1960s America, The Doors, at Newlyn Filmhouse at the invitation of regular Cinematologist, filmmaker Mark Jenkin. The conversation following the screening covered Jim Morrison and the band, 1960s America, Vietnam, film form and the longstanding influence of the film on Mark's work, up to and including his new film, Rose of Nevada, due for release later this year. A few days after the screening news came of Val Kilmer's death and that prompted a rejigging of the release schedule for the podcast, so that Neil and Dario could talk in person about the film and Kilmer as an actor, on Neil's planned trip to London to do some taping. The result of that visit, and the live screening, can be found in this episode. It's part examination and celebration of Stone's under-discussed film and part celebration and analysis of Kilmer's work as Morrison and across his varied career. Neil and Dario talk about the actor's individual style and approach and legacy, while also using Dario's recent viewing of the documentary Val (2021) as a guide for understanding Kilmer's work in The Doors. If one of the aims of the screening for the podcast was to get more people engaged with Stone's work and Kilmer's performance, the latter's death means that is sadly more likely now and we hope this discussion adds to that ongoing conversation. Thanks to Mark for his commitment to and excitement in doing these screenings, as well as his generosity of thought and collaboration. As well, thanks to Newyln Filmhouse (Kernow) and the Garden Cinema (Covent Garden) for support at either end of the process to make this episode a reality. ——— Visit our Patreon at www.patreon.com/cinematologists ——— You can listen to The Cinematologists for free, wherever you listen to podcasts: click here to follow.

The episode concludes with a light-hearted discussion about future plans and the importance of self-care.
Kirsty and Dan discuss Enys Men, director Mark Jenkin's unique sort-of-folk horror/art film hybrid set on a lonely Cornish island.

The latest episode was the brainchild of longtime Cinematologist Mark Jenkin (Bait/Enys Men) who wanted to screen one of his favourite films, John Milius's Big Wednesday (1978) at his local cinema, the gorgeous Newlyn Filmhouse, in South West Cornwall. Over a languorous chat before the screening, and over some wonderful chips, Neil and Mark talk about the film and its director, surfing and Mark's upbringing in North Cornwall, the podcast, film programming, filmmaking and all sorts. During the conversation, the lovely staff from the Filmhouse pop in and out making sure the hosts are ok. After this the episode moves into the screen, where Neil and Mark intro the film and are joined afterwards by a large portion of the sell-out crowd to reflect on the screening and the many complex and moving elements of the film, before Neil and Mark say goodnight on the steps of the cinema as staff close it for the day. Thank you to Mark for choosing the film and being so generous with his time, thoughts and energy at the event. Thanks to Kingsley for manning the roving mic and thanks to Alastair and staff at the Filmhouse for their support, hospitality, and chips. — You can listen to The Cinematologists for free wherever you listen to podcasts: click here to follow.

To coincide with the UK cinema release, Neil talks to director Rachel Lambert about Sometimes I Think About Dying, her third feature film. The conversation covers making a feature that had a successful life as a short film, the artistic and thematic legacies of COVID, the importance of location and place, the all-too-human desire to be seen and the terror that comes with that, the importance of Buster Keaton and the genius of Punch Drunk Love, among many other things in a deep and far-reaching conversation. Elsewhere, Neil talks about how much he misses Dario and recent encounters with cinema that represent the Pacific Northwest on screen.

Our last folk horror film of the month is the 2022 psychodrama ‘Enys Men', directed by Mark Jenkin.
Listen in this week as we laud our mediocre achievements, and to celebrate them what better way could there possibly be than chatting about the Top 5 Celebrations. It may have taken four hundred episodes to do so but the Dads finally sat down together in the man cave to watch director Mark Jenkin's ENYS MEN (2022). A kind of twisted lovechild of David Attenborough and H.P. Lovecraft, the film is set in 1973 on an uninhabited island off the Cornish coast and follows a lone woman, played with haunting subtlety by Mary Woodvine, as she observes a rare flower in the shadow of an ancient stone monument. A study in solitude, where the most dialogue you'll get is the scribbling of ‘No change' in a ledger, which becomes increasingly ironic as everything on screen suggests otherwise, ENYS MEN is a film that both marvels at and fears the power of nature. It looks stunning of course, filmed on 16mm Kodak Film giving it an authentic feel of the era, almost lending a kind of found footage or documentary quality but also being dreamlike and cinematic, and the sound design helps to strengthen the sense of foreboding. That being said this is not going to be everybody's cup of tea, with the director's debut BAIT a far more traditional offering in terms of plotting and pacing than this more avant-garde follow-up.Theme tune aside, Sidey sees nothing of value in this week's kids tv choice as we look at classic children's drama GRANGE HILL. We look at the first episode which features wallpaper almost as mind-bending as this week's film was. Stuff I remember from Grange Hill which traumatised me: the kid who fell off the multi-storey car park, Zammo getting into a fight at the zoo and falling into the sea lion enclosure, Michael Sheard's terrifying Mr Bronson and of course, Just Say No when Roland discovered Zammo slumped against a wall in the back room of an amusement arcade, surrounded by drug paraphernalia, his eyes fixed in a dead-eyed stare. Good stuff, We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com. Until next time, we remain... Bad Dads
In this final episode of 2023 (and season 18), we (Neil and Dario) ruminate on a year spent thinking cinematically and engaging with cinema in the unique way that has become the hallmark of The Cinematologists; thoughtful, personal, searching for meaning and meaningful experiences across the movie spectrum. We both share brief discussions of two films that stuck with us from different points of the year, Neil talking about Mark Jenkin's short A Dog Called Discord and Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor's The Future Tense, while Dario ponders Patricio Guzman's My Imaginary Country and Samsara, directed by Lois Patiño. Then, we spend more time discussing three films each at greater length in what could be seen as their top 3 films of the year, if we were so inclined to frame them that way (and we go to great pains in the episode to make sure that they don't come across as ‘ranked'). Dario shares his thoughts on and fondness for Laura Poitras's All The Beauty and the Bloodshed, Celine Song's Past Lives and Todd Haynes's May December. While Neil decides to go deep on Cyril Schäublin's Unrest (which he shamefully claims is set in the 1920s when it's clearly late 19th Century!), Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch's The Eight Mountains and Aki Kaurismäki's Fallen Leaves. ——— Thank you to all our guests this season and to our listeners, we thank you for your continued support of The Cinematologists, and hope you join us for season 19, which commences in February 2024. ——— You can listen to The Cinematologists for free, wherever you listen to podcasts: click here to follow.

Wassan? It's a nautical themed episode for a movie that Sophie hasn't seen before, and it's the debut experimental drama from Mark Jenkin called Bait, set in a British coastal town in Cornwall and cited by Mark Kermode as 'a genuine modern masterpiece'. Knowing that Sophie has a keen interest in old style photography and appreciation for the art, I edge my bets with having her give her thoughts on this film, and therefore find out if Kermode's statement rings true!

In one of the last interviews of Season 3, composer and director Mark Jenkin joins The Film Scorer podcast! First off, and something I forgot to mention in the intro, but I appreciate Mark persevering through some major audio issues - our interview went for nearly an hour, but a lot of the audio wasn't salvageable! Mark recently released his experimental folk horror film Enys Men (Cornish for Stone Island) earlier this year, as well as his corresponding score. As such, we primarily discuss the film, including Mark's score, how filmmaking and composing process, and much more. Along the way we touch on imposter syndrome and what constitutes a "musician", Mark's appreciation for good film criticism, and scores Mark's been digging lately (like Nick Cave and Warren Ellis's Wind River). Enys Men is a tough watch, and likely won't be for everyone, as is the case for most unorthodox/non-traditional films, and the same can be said for Mark's score. It's a very droning, atmospheric piece that slowly pulls you into the nightmarish isolation of the film. Mark also chose a strange sonic palette, starting with recording a tiny, old Korg synth into a tape loop before adding elements like rocks, locally sourced scrap metal from Cornwall's post-industrial landscape, and Mark's voice sung into a mic with heavy reverb. I love it. You can find out more about Mark on his website. Enys Men is available for purchase, and may still be in some specialty theaters, and Mark's score, as well as his score for Bait, is available digitally on all major platforms.
Last weekend we dreamed in celluloid, in three-strip technicolor and, crucially, on NITRATE. The BFI's new, hopefully regular, festival dedicated to cinema's technical heritage was a triumph - give or take an opening night. The boys sampled some exhilarating expanded cinema on 16mm by Malcolm Le Grice, some dicy nostalgism from Mark Jenkin, and of course Blood and Sand, Rouben Mamoulian's bullish nitrate delight. Join us for recollections of this sweaty and flickery weekend as we discuss the good, the bad and the flammable.
It's a new year, which means a new batch of great film music to listen to! To help you out, The Film Scorer covers some of the best and most notable film scores released from the last three months of the year, including scores like Enys Men by Mark Jenkin, Broker by Jung Jae-Il, L'envol by Gabriel Yared, and many more! Keep your eye on The Film Scorer website for reviews and articles covering some of these scores and see below for articles covering some of my favorite scores for the following months, including detailed writeups and lists. One note: I accidentally reference Chris Lord when I meant to say Chris Miller (of Lord and Miller).
Move to an island, they said. Enjoy the simple life, they said. Descend into a madness populated entirely by ghosts from Cornish history, they said. On this episode, we look at Mark Jenkin's masterful folk horror "Enys Men"Follow us on YouTube to join in our monthly livestreams.Weird, Together is hosted by Brennan Storr (The Ghost Story Guys Podcast, Transmissions From the Void, Book of the Dead) and Joseph Comeau (The Cardinal Rule, AZ Sports Underground).Our theme song is "Rest in Peace", from the album "Music From Big Beige" by The Revenants, licensed via Night Harvest Recordings.
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.

It's psychotic to have almost typed "there's only four movies to cover this week," but that's an unfortunate side effect of being in the heart of multiple weeks where five to seven theatrical releases has become the norm. Now eleven months into "the experiment," the gang has long forgotten that the average human statistically reports only "rarely" walking into a movie theater, let alone more than once a week. For those curious: 18% reported "never," 41% "rarely," 33% "sometimes," and 8% "often in the most current Statista survey. ANYWAY, "Beau is Afraid" [00:01:18] is the most expensive movie A24 ever produced while also touting its most bloated in run time, clocking in at around three hours. This is cut down from a reported original run time of four hours. Was all the expense and considerable length worth the inherent gamble? Well, while the film is tanking mercilessly at the box office, at least one Movie Master was profoundly moved by the film, declaring it their film of the year so far, and yet another feels that, much like "Everything Everywhere All At Once," the laurels and true hype will be on about an 8-month delay... after it hits streaming and makes the casual rounds. "Evil Dead Rise" [00:42:00] is up next. You'd think the gang would be hyped, right? Find out if that was the case and, if so, if the results lived up to or perhaps surpassed expectations. Much like "Beau is Afraid," "Chevalier" [01:02:31] is absolute box office poison, coming in at eleventh its opening weekend and sinking like a rock (or even... The Rock at this point) to the very bottom at sixteenth the following week. In spite of strong "we don't want this at all" message being sent by the public, at least two Movie Masters are prepared to champion its merits while another firmly puts it in F-tier/kill-it-with-fire territory. "Enys Men" [01:21:33] was a solo mission one Movie Masters drive a little farther to take in. A very small, very niché film, it's yet another hard-to-categorize offering that almost lazily gets marketed as "horror," which is sure to deeply upset traditional fans of the genre. Set in 1973 and evoking heavy "The Wicker Man" vibes, does the follow-up to "Bait" keep the Mark Jenkin hype train rolling? And finally, this episode features another installment of the A.I.MBD game. Play along and see if you can tell the difference between actual movie plots and those scripted by artificial intelligence.

Mark Kermode and Ellen E Jones take the scenic route through slow cinema - a genre of film that might challenge your attention span, but is almost guaranteed to change the way you watch. There is one particular film that's inspired this week's show, Chantal Akerman's 3-and-a-half hour, slow moving masterpiece from 1975 - Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080, Brussels In December 2022, Jeanne Dielman topped Sight and Sound magazine's Greatest Film of All Time poll. That caused quite a fuss because, for the last few decades, the poll has been dominated by Citizen Kane and Vertigo. Ellen speaks with critic Wendy Ide and film academic Dr Tiago de Luca to get deeper into the genre of slow cinema and explore this sea change in critics' tastes. One reason for Jeanne Dielman's new found popularity is down to access. A film that was once almost impossible to see is now enjoying sell out runs in art house cinemas. In an extended interview, Mark talks with writer and filmmaker Adam Roberts who, along with director Joanna Hogg, has long been at the centre of the quest to take Chantal Akerman's filmography from the underground into the spotlight. They discuss Akerman's life, work and her unique creative vision. And in this week's Viewing Note, friend of the show and director of the Cornish folk horror Enys Men, Mark Jenkin, shares his slow cinema recommendations. Producer: Freya Hellier A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4
The new Cornish Folk Horror Enys Men, is a deliberate, unsettling film about an unnamed Volunteer on an uninhabited island whose existence seems routine, until it begins to spiral with fluctuations in time, encounters with phantoms, and strange lichens that start appearing everywhere. In this episode, director Mark Jenkin discusses the concept of Cornish Folk Horror, and the nature of time within the film — and why trying to make sense of it might “drive you mad.” Additionally, he discusses the films 1970s horror influences, including an unintentional homage to 1973's Don't Look Now. He also explains why this is one you have to see in theaters. _______________________________________________________________ Talking Strange Paranormal Podcast with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, with a weekly "Small Talk" mini-sode with reader submitted letters and spooky tales.

In this special episode, Mark Jenkin (Enys Men) chats with Kyle Edward Ball (Skinamarink.)

Shot on 16mm, ENYS MEN is a mind-bending Cornish folk horror story set in 1973 that unfolds on an uninhabited island off the Cornish coast. A wildlife volunteer's (Mary Woodvine) daily observations of a rare flower take a dark turn into the strange and metaphysical, forcing both her and viewers to question what is real and what is nightmare. Evoking the feeling of discovering a reel of never-before-seen celluloid unspooling in a haunted movie palace, this provocative and masterful vision of horror puts Mark Jenkin into the conversation as one of the Britain's most exciting and singular filmmakers. ENYS MEN director, producer, writer and cinematographer Mark Jenkin (BAIT) joins us for a conversation on working with lead actor Mary Woodvine and how using his own lo-fi approach to filmmaking he was able to weave together a haunting sound design, discordant music, and a 1970's style cinematography combined with a stark location that gives ENYS MEN a vaguely familiar folk tale its tormenting power.

Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin joins the pod to talk about his new film Enys Men, now playing nationwide. We talk about the legacy of big, scary stones in British horror, working with a skeleton crew, hand-processing 16mm film, eco-friendly filmmaking, and creating soundtracks entirely in post. We also discuss his remarkable BAFTA-winning previous feature Bait, which returns to select theaters this weekend.Enys Men trailer - showtimes with Q&As at Film at Lincoln Center & Village EastBait trailer - showtimes with Q&As at Film at Lincoln Center & Village East Mark Jenkin's The Cinematic DNA of Enys Men season at BFISupport the showThe Screen Slate Podcast is supported by its Patreon members.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we're featuring a Q&A from the 60th New York Film Festival with Enys Men director Mark Jenkin and lead Mary Woodvine, moderated by FLC Senior Director of Programming Florence Almozini. In 1973, on an uninhabited, windswept, rocky island off the coast of Cornwall in southwest England, an isolated middle-aged woman spends her days in enigmatic environmental study. When she's not tending to the moss-covered stone cottage in which she lodges, her central preoccupation is a cluster of wildflowers at a cliff's edge, the blossoms' subtle changes noted in a daily ledger. She's also increasingly haunted by her own nightmarish visitations, which seem both summoned from her own past and brought up from the very soil and ceremonial history of this mysterious place. Shot on enveloping, period-evocative 16mm, this eerie, texturally rich experience from Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin conjures works of classic British folk horror but remains its own strange being, a genuine transmission from a weird other world. Enys Men opens next Friday, March 31, with a filmmaker Q&A at 6pm, along with Jenkin's debut feature Bait, which also opens next Friday with a Q&A at 8:45pm.

Brett (writer/director/editor) and Simon (producer) Harvey, are stalwarts of contemporary Cornish cinema and 2022 saw the release of their third feature film Long Way Back, which has just hit streaming platforms. Supported by Falmouth University's Sound/Image Cinema Lab, which has also supported the work of Mark Jenkin and for which Neil is the research and strategy lead, Long Way Back marks a departure in style and ambition for the filmmaking brothers and their company o-region. Neil talks to them about their process and influences, the role of music in both those aspects, the Cornish film community and the challenges of the UK indie film landscape. From there, Neil and Dario discuss regional UK filmmaking, the role of film festivals, independent ambition and london-centricism as both a concept and reality. Elsewhere, Neil recommends new Chilean cinema release The Cow Who Sang A Song Into The Future, directed by Francisca Alegria and featuring a favourite actor of the hosts, Pablo Larrain regular Alfredo Castro, which prompts a chat about eco-sophical cinema.

BAFTA Award winning director Mark Jenkin joins us to talk about his unique approach to sound for his films. He shoots his films on a bolex camera, entirely without sound and only adds ADR (which he records himself) after the film is edited. He also writes and records the score himself. All of this to make utterly unique films that have found both an audience and critical acclaim in the UK and beyond.

Den 46e upplagan av Göteborg Film Festival är till ända och det är dags för oss att summera festivalen och dess filmer. Framförallt snöade vi in oss på online-utbudet och där har vi sett allt från animerad dokumentär om armeniska folkmordet och österrikiskt anakronistiskt kostymdrama till chilenska häxor och isländsk road movie med en man och hans döda mor. Det genomgående temat på festivalen var trauma, abrupta slut och +++. Vi hann också se en festivalfilm på bio innan inspelningen, nämligen Enys Men. Mark Jenkin är tillbaka med en ny 16mm-film, denna gång är det experimentellt och kusligt på en brittisk ö. Majoriteten av Kinomatiskt gillade filmen men en minoritet älskade den. Efter att ha sett film från jordens alla hörn inspirerades Krille till att göra en lista över de fem bästa filmländerna sett till deras historiska och samtida filmutbud.

For our first episode of 2023, Dario speaks to a great friend of the podcast Mark Jenkin about his new Cornish "folk horror", Enys Men. Starring Mary Woodvine as a volunteer isolated on a Cornish island seemingly with the task of observing and recording the local wildlife. This sets the stage for a disquieting, time-bending, psycho-ecological fable, forged through Jenkin's singular audio-visual sensibility. In a wide-ranging conversation, Mark goes deep into the artistic process underpinning the film, thinks through questions the work throws up about loneliness, isolation, time and memory. The notion of genre is another topic of discussion, with the renaissance in cinematic folk horror. But Dario forward his thesis that Enys Men is a "last woman on Earth" sci-fi. It's also great have Neil returning to the show after his hiatus. He reviews another potential entry to the international folk horror canon Yanuari (January). From Bulgarian director Andrey Paounov and co-written by former Cinematologists guest Alex Barrett. Shownotes ENYS MEN is in cinemas now.

Lost and Sound is back after a seasonal break, and trying something new: Paul's first guest of the year is actually a film maker. Isn't this a music podcast? You might say, but Mark Jenkin's hands-on approach and unique style, particularly when it comes to sound design, make him, for a podcast that meets outliers, innovators and outsiders, a spot on guest. Following on from his 2019 black and white Cornish-set Bait: a film nodody could have predicted would have become the hit it was, we spoke about his new offering, the 70s-set folk horror, Enys Men. It's hauntology on screen: eerie and dream-like. The soundtrack, composed by Jenkin, is stand-alone good - particularly if you're a fan of disintegrating drones and analogue loops that feel warped into some lost memory. Mark Jenkin's original score for Enys Men is out now digitally on Invada Records. The film is released in the UK on 13 Jan.

Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode explore folk horror on screen. The genre is commonly associated with British film from the 70s, but Ellen and Mark investigate how it resonates across the globe and its resurgence over the last decade.. Ellen speaks to the author and director of the folk horror documentary, Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched, Kier-La Janisse about the first folk horror films, the hallmarks of the genre and folk horror's depiction of pastoral and urban settings. Ellen then talks to director Nikyatu Jusu about her recent film Nanny which won the Grand Jury prize at Sundance last year. They discuss how she uses West African folklore in the film and why she thinks folk horror is culturally specific. Mark talks to director Mark Jenkin about his upcoming film, Enys Men. They consider the film's relationship to Cornish identity and the landscape as well as why he prefers to call Enys Men a folk film rather than a folk horror film. And the director of some modern takes on folk horror such as The Witch and The Northman, Robert Eggers, recommends a couple of underseen folk horror gems.

International focus is on Mary as she takes the lead in Mark Jenkin's highly anticipated follow-up to Bait – Enys Men. She's appeared in countless theatre productions across Cornwall and was a core member of Kneehigh Theatre in the 90s. And she's been seen on our small screens in everything from Eastenders to Poldark. Mary talks about the challenge of taking on the intense role, the responsibility of being a leading lady in her 50s, the nightmare of her first day on EastEnders and scooping the naughtiest line of the series in Poldark.
When Mark Kermode, feminist ally of Girls On Film, and one of the UK's top film critics, expressed a wish to come on the Girls On Film podcast, Anna Smith asked listeners in an online poll which recent films they would like the two of them to discuss on the show. They discuss two recent films, beginning with a Don't Worry Darling review. **SPOILER ALERT** from 11:01 they move into spoiler territory, so skip to 18:36 if you'd like to avoid that. They then discuss The Woman King, as well as the winner of the Sight and Sound poll of the top 100 films of all time, Jeanne Dielman; why awards matter, the sense and nonsense of making lists of favourite films, and whether the film industry is making advances where gender parity is concerned. Mark Kermode is film critic for The Observer, co-presenter of BBC Radio 4's Screenshot alongside Ellen E Jones, host of his own film music programme on Scala Radio, and co-presenter of Kermode and Mayo's Take podcast. Don't Worry Darling is available on all the usual platforms in the UK. The Woman King will be available on digital January 30th and on DVD February 13th 2023. Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles is available to stream on BFI Player in The Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time collection on BFI Player – which now includes over 50 titles from the top 100 to rent or for subscribers.

This week, the boys complete their New Horizons derive; casting a wide net over the work of Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin. Between the devil and the deep blue sea, they set sail for Enys Men (his latest) before dipping their oars into Jenkin's preceding forays into hand-cranked celluloid (Bait and Bronco's House). Questions. What's eating contemporary British filmmaking, and how can we escape the leery lobster-pot of hauntological homages and atavistic hauntings? Derrida's spectres – Fisher's ghosts. They're knocking on the door and asking for a cup of sugar. Maybe it's time we told them to get lost.
In this episode, Neil records an audio diary from the 2022 International Festival de Cannes. He reflects on being part of the team presenting Mark Jenkin's Enys Men to the world, the weirdness of Cannes, and some of the films he saw while there. Titles discussed are Patricio Guzmán's My Imaginary Country, Mia Hansen' Løve's One Fine Morning, the 1972 anthology film about the Munich Olympics Visions of Eight and De Humani Corporis Fabrica by Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel (who directed the experimental fishing documentary Leviathan). Guests include critic and podcaster John Bleasdale, academic and producer Kingsley Marshall and some of the team behind Enys Men, director Mark Jenkin and actor Mary Woodvine. Elsewhere Neil and Dario discuss Patricio Guzmán, the film festival bubble and some recent positive comments from listeners, as well as Neil's reflection on the final film he saw in Cannes, Annie Ernaux and David Ernaux-Briot's The Super 8 Years. Although, Neil forgot to tell his Louis Garrel story, so that will have to wait until the next episode. Also, some of the diary entries are a bit peaky due to mediterranean winds, so please bear with some of the audio segments of the diary. ——— You can listen to The Cinematologists for free, wherever you listen to podcasts: click here to follow.

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Prof. Peter Smith of Scotland's Climate Change Centre of Expertise. He discusses the agenda of this year's COP 26 climate change summit, the meteoric rise in carbon emissions and the urgent need to reach an emissions peak before drastic reductions, the need for urgent action this decade on the climate crisis, fossil fuel industry lobbying against climate action, the potential industry of CO2 removal from the atmosphere and much more! Finally, Going Underground's deputy editor, Charlie Cooke, speaks to BAFTA-winning director Mark Jenkin about his film ‘BAIT', which explores how gentrification under neoliberalism has completely changed the iconic British city of Cornwall, bringing cultural and economic hardships for the people of the area. Mark Jenkin discusses how the experiences of the characters of the film reflect the lives of many in this economic climate.
Bait depicted Cornish second-home owners in a tense relationship with local fishermen. The 2019 film's director Mark Jenkin is one of Laurence Scott's guests along with author Wyl Menmuir, and Joan Passey, from the University of Bristol, where she is researching ideas about the sea as a monstrous space. Their conversation ranges from The Jewel of the Seven Stars by Bram Stoker via Wyl's novel The Many, centred on a derelict home in a coastal village and ideas about outsiders, to Celtic Cornish Breton connections. In our archives and available to download, you can find a Free Thinking discussion about ideas of Revenge and Daphne du Maurier's My Cousin Rachel - about a young man brought up in Cornwall and the widow of his cousin who comes to the county. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08slx9w Our Green Thinking playlist includes programmes exploring oceans, rising UK sea levels and the insights gained from new research.

In this final episode of our series on leisure we look at holidays. During the pandemic, we've seen campaigners arguing for the “right to holiday”; now, as we finally begin to open up, we see the complications of permitting limited international travel as the pandemic continues to devastate other countries. Meanwhile, the hospitality industry within the UK braces itself for what could be its busiest ever season. All this gave us at TWT cause to reflect on the psychic and political framing of holidaying. The aesthetics of holidays are bound by class; from the gentrification and dispossession that tourism and holiday home ownership can engender, to the extreme indulgences of luxury travel. Rethinking the conditions and implications of holidaying is part of a wider socialist project. TWT FM is a podcast from The World Transformed. This episode was produced by Sarah Vowden, Matt Huxley, Aron Keller, Oli Cox and Charlie Clarke, with contributions from Stephanie Sherman from Autonomy, Owen Hatherley, Mark Jenkin, Ben Norris and Martha Dillon from Its Freezing in LA.
We are really excited to focus an episode around the BFI Blu-ray release of Chris Petit's existential British road movie Radio On as it's a film that we had talked about for a long time. Alongside this, it gave us the perfect excuse to bring on one of our original supporters and true friend of the show, Mark Jenkin. Mark kindly took the time out from editing his new feature Enys Men, to explore why Radio On is one of his most influential films. Indeed, there is no one better to talk about the handmade sensibility of the film along with the combination of its unique aesthetics of place and time and its abstracted subjectivity of characters alienated from their social reality. We also discuss the film's almost singular place in British film history and examine how this is related to its European art-house sensibility, particularly in terms of the links to Wim Wenders and New German Cinema. We also discuss the way the film is structured musically, with signature Bowie tracks along with the electronic futurism of Kraftwerk and even Sting popping up to give an Eddie Cochrane tribute. There is also the question of how the film is one of the more idiosyncratic road movies, one without a specific motivation or destination, and an ending that is sublimely ambiguous and maybe even strangely uplifting.

With Antonia Quirke David Byrne discusses the film version of his Broadway musical American Utopia which was directed by Spike Lee. And he reveals why he's a changed man since his last concert movie Stop Making Sense. Bait director Mark Jenkin is about to return to the film he had to abandon in March because of lockdown, Enys Men. But, thanks to social distancing rules, the film is very different from the one he had originally planned, with no crowd scenes, for instance, and a tighter budget. That's quite difficult for a horror movie with a cast of 200. Andrew Kotting, the director of Gallivant and The Whalebone Box, has to leave the studio he has worked in for the last 15 years, packing up his paintings, his books, his work shed and his straw bear costume. He says goodbye to his studio in a plaintive series of audio diaries.
With Antonia Quirke. Theresa Ikoko and Claire Wilson describe how they wrote their award-winning film Rocks in collaboration with their teenage cast. Theresa reveals why she didn't tell her older sister that the main character was based on her, until she saw the film. Director Hong Khaou talks about the autobiographical elements that underpin his new drama Monsoon, about a young British man who returns to the place of his birth in Vietnam. Hong explains why his mother refuses to watch his movies.

With Ben Bailey Smith With no blockbusters and several heatwaves, it's been a cruel summer for our cinemas. The Uckfield Picture House in Sussex is feeling the heat. With only dozens of customers each day, owner Kevin Markwick was relying on two films to bring audiences back to his family business. One of them, Mulan, is now being released for streaming only. Kevin tells us his plans for survival with temperatures in the 30s and only one blockbuster being released at the end of August. As an actor, Ben Bailey Smith has worked on dozens of sets and is always surprised that there aren't more disasters, given the potential for something to go wrong. He enlists the help of historian Pamela Hutchinson to tell him about some of the biggest behind-the-scenes catastrophes in movie history. Writer/director Mark Jenkin was due to follow up his award-winning movie Bait this summer, until the pandemic intervened. He now has to wait a year to start shooting. Unbowed, Mark has started to write a new film, and is documenting its progress in a series of audio diaries. This week, Mark faces the nightmare of the blank page. Neil Brand continues his series of rejected scores and reveals how one piece of music by Ennio Morricone was used in two films and one TV series, and was even released as a single, ultimately reaching no.2 in the UK charts.
With Antonia Quirke Director Mark Jenkin sends his latest audio diary as he embarks on a new project, while he waits another year to start shooting his follow-up to the award-winning Bait. This week's recommendation for a film to stream is High Life, a movie about lockdown and living in isolation, as convicts are sent into space for a scientific experiment. From the archives, director Claire Denis explains that her original idea was to make a film about a deadly virus. Cinema owner Kevin Markwick explains why he is not going to open the doors of the Uckfield Picture House quite yet, despite the devastating impact that the coronavirus has had on the family business. Poet Simon Barraclough cannot wait for cinemas to re-open. He has watched at least 98 films during lockdown, but explains, in verse, why watching a film on your television can never be the same as going to the cinema.
With Antonia Quirke What does a film-maker do when they can't make a film ? Three directors share their audio diaries, in which they chart their lives in lockdown. Mark Jenkin was about to start shooting his follow-up to Bait when Covid 19 intervened. He now has to wait a year until he can begin again. Carol Morley set up her own on-line film club because she was missing the communal feeling of watching a film with an audience. Andrew Kotting's film The Whalebone Box was about to be released in cinemas just at the moment when they closed down. He was planning to go on tour with the film and catch up with friends and family around the UK and Ireland.
Tom and Mattie had the true honour of speaking with Mark Jenkin, the director, editor, soundtrack-writer (and more) behind the utterly masterful Bait (2019). Bait is a story about the struggles of a local community in Cornwall, through the eyes of Martin, a fisherman without a boat, coming into conflict with his brother, his community, and the forces of middle-class gentrification. We talk with Mark about Bait's story, its themes, its cast, the unique potential of the form of film, and so much more. Catch Mark Jenkin on Twitter @Mark_Jenkin.

This week we go from small-town Cornwall to small-town Maine, looking at the highly acclaimed British film Bait and the sequel to the biggest horror film of all time It Chapter Two, as well as speaking to the films' director Andy Muschietti.Bait looks at the effects of gentrification in a small fishing town in Cornwall. Shot in dramatic black-and-white on a 16mm camera, this is an impressive debut from director Mark Jenkin. It Chapter Two takes place 27 years after the events of the first film. The Losers Club are now all grown up, but the resurgence of Pennywise AKA It brings them back to Derry to face the monster from their childhood. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Hen, Anna and Pete get a line on a reel-y good film. Bait, BFI-backed and brilliant to boot, is written and directed by Mark Jenkin. Set in Jenkin's native Cornwall, it's a drama about the effects of gentrification on a village fishing community and it says a lot about the state of Britain today.Bait follows Martin (Edward Rowe), a fisherman without a boat raging against the wealthy Londoners who have bought his childhood home. In the face of tourism and city money, angry, displaced Martin is left floundering. These situations, Jenkin seems to be saying, are where Brexit came from.Elsewhere in the ep, Anna is hopped up on the Zendaya-starring TV series Euphoria, Hen has been spending time with San Quentin prison's in-house podcast Ear Hustle AND an incredibly awkward bit in which one of the pod earnestly reads out song lyrics about the corrosive effect of captalism on communities.

There they speak to Iranian exiles Mohsen Makhmalbaf and Marzieh Meshkini, Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles, French auteur Arnaud Desplechin and Mark Jenkin from Cornwall. Along the way, they meet the people who make the festival possible, the volunteers, and find out why all the directors are expected to get into a sauna and go skinny dipping.
Joining us this week is filmmaker Mark Jenkin. In his latest film, Bait, two Cornish fisherman grapple with the influx of tourism in their own ways as we're all taken on a hypnotic ride. Mark shot this film on a Bolex camera with 16 mm black and white film and hand processed the film himself. We discussed how these decisions and others played critical roles in the character and unique style of the film. https://www.baitfilm.co.uk/ Upcoming Screenings in NYC: http://www.newdirectors.org/2019/films/bait https://www.moma.org/calendar/events/5341
