Their progress is followed along an ideal thoroughfare. In songs where ancient ritual, myth, the mountain and the rose, mingle with taxis, telephones and powder-puffs. Old rhymes rarely dying - something new always appearing. No-one asks "What does this mean?" The world's accepted, poetry's kept alive. Favourite topic, love and death. Not meant for education or entertainment but belonging to the art of play. Shot in six Easter days of boisterous weather, the cast, mostly girls, numbering sixty. (ssa.nls.uk)

An atmosphere piece. Shows children playing in the streets while children sing over the images. Nice portrait of the era, trying to capture happier times.

A brief look at children's street culture before death-by-car and a lovely reminder to re-read some Colin Ward. http://ssa.nls.uk/film/0799
