After premiering at the Venice Film Festival in 2025, Rose of Nevada went on to play major festivals in Toronto and New York before opening in the US in the summer of 2026. Mark Jenkin’s unique style of shooting sets this film apart, utilizing a Bolex 16mm camera in addition to not recording sound on location, instead creating the soundscapes of his films entirely in post-production, allowing for a control of tone and mood that pushes the fantastic script and performances into an otherworldly movie-going sensation. Starring George Mackay (The Beast, 1917) and Callum Turner (Green Room, Eternity), alongside a cast of locals of Cornwall, the hometown of writer and director Jenkin.

A mysterious boat returns to a village 30 years after vanishing. Two men join its crew hoping for better fortune. After one voyage, they find themselves transported back in time, mistaken for the original crew.
