Quotes by Cast/Crew

 “Working with film is hands on. I feel directly connected, through my hands to all those people who have been processing movies in the same way for over a hundred years. Like life it is full of inconsistencies, the grain, the flicker, bring content and form that no matter how hard you try, cannot be separated. I love the craft element of hand processing film, creating something with your hands. Humans need that. I'm increasingly realising I need that.” - Mark Jenkin


“I love how incredibly simple the Bolex is: I think I fully understand everything it can do and how it does it. It’s incredibly robust, and beautifully engineered; it makes a lovely sound. It’s very easy to load, and it takes beautiful lenses which create wonderful images. And it looks stunning. I would quite happily hang it on my wall like a painting. It’s a work of art.” - Mark Jenkin

  Since the film was shot on a wind up Bolex, sound couldn't be recorded on set. All the dialogue was then dubbed in post. Director Mark Jenkin processed the 130 rolls of Kodak 16mm B&W film 16mm film himself in his studio. Much of the film was shot in the Admiral Benbow, Penzance. This pub, opened in 1959, houses thousands of artefacts salvaged from ships wrecked of the Cornish coast and the Isles of Sicily. Printed Film Format  is D cinema.  "The wind on my Bolex allows for 27 seconds of shooting time, so no single take is ever longer than that," he says. "Although in practice we actually  lit pretty much everything - the exterior and interiors scenes  with LEDs to subtly lift the look as appropriate, I wanted the result to look as natural as possible."
