Ventnor Film Society Screening - The Rose of Nevada
–
2 November, 2026
When the Rose of Nevada reappears in their harbour 30 years after vanishing with all hands, captain Murgey, young father Nick, and newcomer Liam take her to sea to restore their devastated Cornish village's fortune. But returning with a bountiful catch, they find they have slipped back in time, to be welcomed as the original lost crew. Confronting their ghostly legacy, they must choose whether to embrace the past or risk all to return to their families.
Mark Jenkin’s Rose of Nevada is a hauntingly hypnotic, time-warping mystery that reinforces why he’s one of the most exciting, singular voices in modern British cinema. Shot on his signature tactile 16mm film and paired with an eerie, immersive sound design, it takes a bizarre ghost-ship premise—anchored by stellar performances from George MacKay and Callum Turner—and spins it into a deeply atmospheric, visually striking trip that is entirely unforgettable on the big screen.
