A screening of Enys Men (2022) by Mark Jenkins & A Portrait of Ga by Margaret Tait, introduced by Polly Wright

Join Toad Lickers collective for a screening of Mark Jenkin's experimental folk-horror Enys Men, preceded by 4-minute poetic film A Portrait of Ga, by Scottish experimental filmmaker Margaret Tait.

About Enys Men:

On a remote island off the Cornish coast, a volunteer environmentalist records daily observations about a rare flower growing near the cliff edge. As changes begin to appear on the plant she is studying, the boundaries between reality and fantasy start to blur, plunging the volunteer into a nightmarish, metaphysical dreamscape. A fascinatingly abstract, almost dialogue-free throwback to the British folk horror films of the 1970s – steeped in cine-literacy yet bracingly singular in its own right.

Rated: 15 (brief strong sex, self-harm, upsetting scenes, psychological threat)
