It starts as a stroll through the park: a pensioner feeds bread to the ducks on the pond, the most ordinary of afternoons. What the ducks actually are — and what they do once fed — is the reveal writer-director AJ Jefferies builds the whole four-minute-forty-five short around, and it earns the gasp-then-laugh reaction festival audiences keep giving it. Since premiering in 2025, the film has picked up nine festival prizes, including the Audience Choice Prize at Sweaty Eyeballs and Best Short Film for Children at Berlin’s KUKI Festival.
