The first entry of writer-director Mark Jenkin’s Cornish Trilogy follows Martin, a fisherman struggling to survive amid tourism, gentrification and family conflict. When his brother turns their fishing boat into a tourist attraction, tensions with locals and visitors escalate. Shot on striking 16mm monochrome, the film critiques displacement and precarity in a changing coastal community.
Joint ticket available with Rose of Nevada and Enys Men on Saturday 2 May – £29, concessions £23 (members pay £3.00 less). Book in person at the box office or by phone on 020 7928 3232.
