Two girls do one of their chores. Standing alongside a tree-lined farmhouse, two children who are about ten and four years old toss grain to a flock of about 50 domesticated ducks. A woman watches them briefly and then moves on. The older girl has her grain in a bucket, the younger one's grain is in her apron. The children stay in one spot, as does the camera; it's the ducks that move around. Chickens are in the background; only one braves the ducks' territory. (imdb)

Oh boy, this takes me back to the wonderful times I spent in my own "poultry-yard" with strange french brothers filming me.

These Lumière brothers sure know how to effectively operate a camera; they also know how to bore you to tears in a mere 40 seconds.

I'm running out of glib, dismissive comments for these boring early shorts.
