Mummers & Masks

Mummers and Masks is a one-hour documentary Christmas Special that explores the ageless world of mummers. The producer traces the legacy of mummering from the humble kitchen parties of the remote outports of Newfoundland to the wild parades and razamatazz of the New Orleans Mardi Gras, and the gaudy present-day Philadelphia Mummer's Parade with its swirling batons, clowns and string bands, to the ancient folk dramas (with their ageless renditions of death and resurrection) still annually, lovingly re-enacted in rustic corners of the British Isles and Europe.

Directed by Peter Blow
