The struggle between those who created the dream and those who want to purchase it. Shot on 16mm black and white film and made to look like something from the 1950s, BAIT tells the modern story of a Cornwall fishing village under siege from gentrification. Martin Ward is a fisherman without a boat; his brother Steven has repurposed their father’s fishing vessel into a trashy, sightseeing boat, driving a wedge between them. Tourists crowd the bars, complain about the noise from trawlers, line their refrigerators with prosciutto and Prosecco and drive locals from their homes. Sound familiar?

CBFF presents BAIT

The short film LIFE: PLASTIC WRAPPED and introductions from Artistic Director Michael Brody and Director of Screening Scott Aigner will play before the film with a recorded talkback to follow

LIFE: PLASTIC WRAPPED “Only we humans make waste that nature can’t digest.” - Charles Moore. Life: Plastic Wrapped is a collaborative dancefilm by Sasha Chudacoff. It was filmed and edited during March/April 2020 Quarantine. Plastics are making a HUGE comeback due to covid-19. The increase of plastic production and waste has been directly affected by this global pandemic. Through dancefilm and poetry, Sasha "stays with the trouble of plastic" in all its' metaphors in our modern times. Owning her personal participation in the plastic problem and climate catastrophe is part of this story; however now in current times of global pandemic and systematic social change, this piece takes on new layers of complication and depth. In addition to playing as a part of Narrative Shorts Program 4, LIFE: PLASTIC WRAPPED will play in front of BAIT and THE STORY OF PLASTIC. Director BioFilmmaker Sasha Chudacoff used the Covid-19 lockdown to tackle the damage plastics do to our planet in the best way she can: through dance.&nbsp;

Here's some questions to spark a conversation: 1) The film BAIT is clearly an homage to the "Kitchen Sink Realist Movement"- a British film movement from the late 1950's-early 1960's that emphasized gritty social realism (contrasted with earlier film escapism) and featured mostly working-class, "angry young man" protagonists disillusioned with modern society. (Examples include the films of Karel Reisz, Tony Richardson, and Jack Clayton). What modern political and cultural critiques&nbsp;do we think Dir. Mark Jenkin is invoking through the lens of this earlier film movement?2) Dir. Mark Jenkin unconventionally shot BAIT on vintage hand-cranked 16mm cameras, grainy hand-processed film, short segments for heightened editing, and without sound (effectively a silent film with the dialogue, music, and effects dubbed in after) to create a unique viewing experience that alternates between the dream-like and the disorienting. How do you think this effect contributes to the central themes of BAIT- namely, alienation, class contentions and the failure to understand one another? <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/1066899fa45aeb429b1565087c1d603d.jpg" width="483"> <a href="https://thesuperlativesfilmpodcast.podbean.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/d23147ee24906ce32056efc3f5eb4947.jpg" width="600"></a>

BAIT

BAIT is a 2018 feature film shot on 16mm B&W film and processed by hand. Captured in Cornwall, it tells a stark story rooted in local culture and community, and how these marginal places are facing up to a changing world. From writer/director Mark Jenkin and Early Day Films, BAIT is a hand crafted monochrome expression of a life under threat.
