Winter of the Witch - Nostalgia for 16mm class room screenings
23 August 2020
Washington Elementary - Hammond, Indiana, USA - 1972. Dark clouds, storm type weather, in class - first grade. Mrs. Lockey would roll the multi-tiered media rolling rack into place, thread the projector, turn off the lights and the class room became a theatre.

Almost 50 years later, these flickering images of a spliced up over screened scratched up print haunt our imagination. Look at the reviews among this one. Nearly all of them mention a seeking for the film that exposed these frames - these images to the children in the darkened world.

With our world wide web almost anything is found.

Winter of the Witch is that film. Winter of the Witch with it's superb cast of talented actors -including Hermione Gingold - google her for some fabulous talk show banter - & Susan Strasberg -- Lee's wife and partner. Winter of the Witch is that film with the magical pancakes, the spooky witch, and the mom and son who leave the dirty city and purchase a home with 20 rooms and 5 bedrooms - a house that includes the presence of an evil witch.
