Bosena presents ENYS MEN a film by Mark Jenkin
Enys Men (Cornish for stone island), an ecosophical horror film, is the next project from BAFTA winning writer/director Mark Jenkin.
Alone on an island crossed by leylines and timelines, with only an ancient standing stone for company, a woman is haunted by echoes of both the past and the future.
Enys. An island. Menhir. A standing stone. Jynnji. An engine house. Bleujen treweythus ow tevi yn-mysk remanans balweyth scattrys, ughel war’n alsyow. A rare flower growing amidst scattered mining remains, high on the cliffs. Hunros. A dream. Vysytyer. A visitor. Pott a de. A pot of tea. Hager-awel. A storm.
