A Child's Christmas in Wales (Marvin Lichtner 1963)

Marvin Lichtner was a photographer (who later worked with the Beatles). In the early 1960s he traveled to a town in Wales and, using locals as models, shot a series of black and white stills which he used to create this film, which he made to illustrate Dylan Thomas's recording of 'A Child's Christmas in Wales'. The film was aired on various PBS stations for several years and then basically vanished, possibly due to copyright issues with the Dylan Thomas recording. Apparently only a few copies of the film remain, mostly in university library film departments, and until very recently the film had never been digitized. This copy comes to us from Archive.org*, and it's not in great shape but at least it's finally available. *(You can download it there: https://archive.org/details/a-childs-...)
