Premium Member Kamran Pakseresht Posted February 6 Premium Member Share Posted February 6 (edited) Just wanted to bring attention to a film I watched on Kanopy last night called Enys Men. Kodak made a really short spotlight about it. It was shot entirely on a Bolex H16 - it's really quite a beautiful film if you're drawn to things shot natively on 16mm. Because it wasn't filmed on a sync sound camera, all sounds were added in post - but I thought it was really well done, there are a number of lines spoken by actors that you likely wouldn't realize were dubbed. It is a very slow paced, unnerving film, but worth a watch I think. Here are some IMDB specs for it: Camera Bolex H16 SBM, Kern Macro-Switar and Zeiss Vario-Sonnar Lenses Laboratory Kodak Film Lab, London, UK Negative Format 16 mm(Kodak Vision3 50D 7203, Vision3 250D 7207, Vision3 500T 7219) Edited February 6 by Kamran Pakseresht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sebastian Bock Posted February 6 Premium Member Share Posted February 6 Thanks! Have you seen his other film „Bait“? Also a recommendation - also shot on his Bolex and self-developed by himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hasson Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Great filmmaker! As Sebastian mentioned Bait, I'd highly recommend that too. In all honesty, I preferred Bait to Enys Men. I'm interested to see what Jenkin brings out as his next film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will certainly watch that one next - awesome that he self-developed it, just watched the trailer and you can certainly tell - I wonder what type of method he used (bucket, morse style rewind tank, or lomo spiral) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Sebastian Bock Posted February 6 Premium Member Share Posted February 6 Interesting interview with Jenkins. He really is the archetype of an independent film maker. https://www2.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/sight-sound-magazine/interviews/mark-jenkin-bait-cornwall-fishing-village-tourists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
