Bait director Mark Jenkin returns with a mysterious time-travelling odyssey, shot in painterly 16mm and starring George MacKay (1917) and Callum Turner (Emma).

30 years ago, the Rose of Nevada was lost at sea with all hands. When it reappears in the harbour of a rundown Cornish fishing village, it feels like a sign: if the Rose sets sail again, perhaps the village’s luck will turn. Nick (George MacKay) takes a job aboard, joined by drifter Liam (Callum Turner). The boat and its voyage are symbols of hope, but when Nick and Liam dock again, something strange has happened – instead of moving into the future, they have re-entered the past.

Rose of Nevada is an unconventional story about grief, identity and the vagaries of time. Like Bait, it’s shot in 16mm (though this time in bold colour) and delights in distinctive texture and composition in a way that makes it feel like a found object – a film by and of Cornwall and the sea.
