Using amateur footage dating back as far as 1910, director Eugenie Jansen confronts our idyllic childhood memories with the harsh consequences of our actions. In the same way people film their children feeding the ducks to record the transience of the susceptible eye of a child, the short film Feeding the Ducks makes a plea for seeing life as good and pleasant. Although we should know better. Thinking of feeding the ducks as an act of innocence is an illusion, after all.
