Opening in cinemas in the UK & Ireland on 24 April 2026

BFI Distribution reveals the brand-new UK trailer and poster for award-winning Cornish director Mark Jenkin’s third feature film, the time-travelling Rose of Nevada, starring George MacKay (For Those in Peril, Femme, 1917) and Callum Turner (Eternity, The Boys in the Boat, Masters of the Air). The film will be released in UK and Irish cinemas on 24 April 2026. A BFI Blu-ray and BFI Player release will follow in the summer. A localised version of the same trailer is simultaneously released today in the US by distributor 1-2 Special, who will open the film on 19 June.

When a fishing boat, the Rose of Nevada, lost with all hands 30 years ago, mysteriously reappears in the old harbour of a forgotten Cornish village, for those who remember, it’s surely a sign. The boat must go out to sea again and maybe then the luck of the devastated village will turn. Young father Nick (George MacKay) needs a job to provide for his family and enigmatic newcomer Liam (Callum Turner) is desperate to escape his past. They join captain Murgey (Francis Magee) and head out to sea. But when they return, satisfied with their haul, something is amiss – they’ve slipped back in time to 1993, and the villagers greet them as if they are the original crew.

Rose of Nevada follows Mark Jenkin’s BAFTA award-winning first feature Bait (2019) and Enys Men (2022). Unique among British feature filmmakers for the analogue way in which he crafts his films, once again Jenkin is the writer, director, director of photography and editor – he also handled sound design and composed the original score. Made in Cornwall, all of Jenkin’s features have been shot on 16mm using a Bolex clockwork camera; all dialogue and sound is added afterwards.

The film had its world premiere in August 2025 at the Venice International Film Festival, followed by its UK premiere in Official Competition at the BFI London Film Festival.
