- Mark Jenkin discusses his film Bait at the 48th edition of New Directors/New Films, taking place at Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art on March 27-April 7. Schedule + tickets: /www.newdirectors.org
A celebration of cinema as a physical medium, this delirious whatsit from Cornish director Mark Jenkin is quite unlike any feature film you’re likely to see this year. Martin (Edward Rowe) is a cove fisherman whose brother has started using their father’s boat to shuttle tourists, soon causing latent familial tensions-not to mention antagonisms between tourists and locals-to explode in ever-surprising fashion. Shot on tactile hand-processed black-and-white 16mm and unfolding with the staccato rhythms of avant-garde cinema, Bait marks a singular achievement: an idiosyncratic work of social realism fascinatingly pitched somewhere between documentary and political melodrama.
Celebrating its 48th edition in 2019, the New Directors/New Films festival introduces New York audiences to the work of emerging filmmakers from around the world. Throughout its rich, nearly half-century history, New Directors has brought previously little-known talents like Spike Lee, Chantal Akerman, Bi Gan, Valerie Massadian, Gabriel Mascaro, RaMell Ross, and Kelly Reichardt to wider audiences. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating a group of filmmakers who represent the present and anticipate the future of cinema: daring artists whose work pushes the envelope and is never what you’d expect. Presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art.
The Film Society of Lincoln Center is devoted to supporting the art and elevating the craft of cinema. The only branch of the world-renowned arts complex Lincoln Center to shine a light on the everlasting yet evolving importance of the moving image, this nonprofit organization was founded in 1969 to celebrate American and international film. Via year-round programming and discussions; its annual New York Film Festival; and its publications, including Film Comment, the U.S.’s premier magazine about films and film culture, the Film Society endeavors to make the discussion and appreciation of cinema accessible to a broader audience, as well as to ensure that it will remain an essential art form for years to come.

Watched it this evening. Terrific.
Seems like a genuine cool dude
Love the idea of 'the angels of happenstance'. Films are organic. They tell you what they need to be
Nothing worse than hearing a down to earth, legitimately creative and talented man trying to answer questions from someone who spends his entire life trying to see things that aren't even there. 'Rhythm of the edit' ?? WTF. He's piecing together shots nailed in as few takes as possible into a story. The simplicity of the production - dictated by budget and limitations of the equipment used, in combination with masterful use of the equipment and efficient use of budget is why the film looks and flows the way it does.
He’s definitely a director to look out for.
Would have been good if the subject matter of the film got addressed before 3 minutes before the end. Large up Kernow.
Humourless Audience - Dont they realise they're listening to a genius here....
🔥
A lot of big words/phrases from the interviewer and audience, that were shown to be unnecessary when talking about the work
