‘Enys Men’

UK sales outfit Protagonist Pictures has acquired worldwide sales rights to UK director Mark Jenkin’s psychological horror Enys Men, and will be launching at the European Film Market (EFM).

The title is a 1973-set horror, which unfolds around a wildlife volunteer who lives alone on an uninhabited Cornish island. Her daily observations of a rare flower turn into a metaphysical journey, forcing her to confront what is real, and what is a nightmare.

It is the follow up to Jenkin’s breakout feature, 2019 Berlin premiere Bait, which won him the Bafta for outstanding debut by a British writer, director.

Jenkin reteams with his Bait leads on his latest feature, Mary Woodvine and Edward Rowe. It is produced by Denzil Monk for Cornish production company, Bosena. Film4 co-financed the film.
