Episode Description

Sam Clements is curating a fictional film festival. He'll accept almost anything, but the movie must not be longer than 90 minutes. This is the 90 Minutes Or Less Film Fest podcast.

In episode 164 Sam is joined by filmmaker Mark Jenkin, director and writer of Bait and Enys Men. His new film, Rose of Nevada, starring George MacKay, Callum Turner and Mary Woodvine, is in UK cinemas from 24 April 2026. 

Mark has chosen Punishment Park (89 mins), the pseudo-documentary film from 1971 directed by Peter Watkins. 

Sam and Mark discuss making Rose of Nevada, Mark's multiple roles on his films, and how Punishment Park is still resonant today. 

Listen to Mark's previous pod appearance where he picked The Shout.
