Mark Jenkin’s most recent cinematic diary is a fascinating return to – and reckoning with – his work and cultural influences.
This 2025 work finds director Mark Jenkin, a quarter-century and a trio of acclaimed features into his career, in a reflective mood. He returns to his cine-diary and to the Cornwall locations that inspired Enys Men (MIFF 2022), and muses on the influences that have shaped him as an artist. In a series of super-8 shots and accompanying voiceover, he considers the liminal spaces that define the life of a working filmmaker, ponders decades of cultural history and – of course – turns his thoughts towards the sea.
