ROSE OF NEVADA (2025) — “a stupefying, time-slipping ghost story”
August 1 : 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
“Like nothing else in modern movies. Feels unearthed from the deep, dark recesses of the unconscious.” – Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
“A stupefying, time-slipping ghost story” (The Film Stage) from Mark Jenkin, the visionary director of Enys Men, Rose of Nevada is a seasick sci-fi-inflected journey into the unknown. Or, as critic Brian Tallerico put it, “a mind-fuck” that “reminds you of the work of Mike Leigh and David Lynch at the same time.”
Three decades ago, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea, along with its crew. Now, it has returned. In a remote fishing village, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew is Nick (George MacKay, 1917), desperate to provide for his young family, and Liam (Callum Turner, Fantastic Beasts), a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage, they return to harbor, only to find that nothing is as they remember it.
Shot on 16mm film with a vintage Bolex H16, a camera that only allows a maximum runtime of 28 seconds per take, and edited with a haunting, rhythmic pulse, Rose of Nevada is, like its characters, adrift in time—ferociously contemporary yet profoundly haunted by the past. It’s also very weird, very cool, and like nothing else in contemporary cinema.
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…
“Brilliantly weird”
“With Rose of Nevada, Jenkin has further cemented himself as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary cinema… brilliantly weird and wholly intoxicating.”
The Upcoming
“Mind-fuck”
“It’s not every day that you see a film that reminds you of the work of Mike Leigh and David Lynch at the same time. Still, there aren’t a lot of movies like this mind-fuck of a flick… I won’t forget it.”

“Moving… unnerving… striking”
“An experience as moving as it is unnerving, and as the piercing screeching of iron rods announces the Rose of Nevada is to leave port once more, it is we the audience there to wave a pained goodbye, quietly stunned by the ethereal aura of Jenkin’s striking creation.”
