There’s a joke in my family that I’m going to make a career out of playing other people’s younger selves, I played the younger Keira [Keira Knightley], I’ve played the younger Angelina [Angelina Jolie] and more recently the young Margot Robbie.

“Peace in my Night” is a compelling documentary that follows the extraordinary life of Elsie Mascher, a woman whose unwavering faith in God guided her through the darkest chapters of World War II.
As a young child, Elsie witnessed the horrors of war firsthand, enduring the unimaginable as her family were forced into labor on their own farm. Eventually taking the chance to flee, Elsie and her family embarked on a frightening journey to freedom.
Their arrival in Canada brought new opportunities and it was there that Elsie found love, meeting her husband and embarking on a new chapter of life to East Africa.
Featuring intimate interviews, archival footage, and glimpses of who she is today, “Peace in my Night” offers a deeply personal and moving portrait of a woman whose faith carried her through the darkest of times. As Elsie Mascher reflects on her experiences and shares the wisdom gained from a life lived with purpose and determination, her story serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith, resilience, and peace.

THE BARMY HORDE, 60min,. UK
Directed by Calvin O’Neill
Do you like silly little cartoons, but are too OLD and HAIRY to watch them without feelings of shame and fear that you are some kind of MENTALLY STUNTED BABY PERSON? Well, you are in for a right treat mate! Because these cartoons are SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED for hairy, mentally stunted freaks like yourself. It’s animated, it’s absurd, and it’s complete anarchy; a showcase of comical cartoons centered around a peculiar town named Barmy, based on the combined inspiration of Calvin O’Neill’s childhood entertainment and his experiences growing up in Croydon. Culminating in a multi-media collection of goofy characters and storylines that transport you into the wacky world of The Barmy Horde. So yeah…swing by, if that’s something you’re interested in.
