Die Berggans Het ’n Veer Laat Val


A poetry film by Erentia Bedeker.

An animated short film inspired by the well-known Afrikaans poem, “Die berggans het ’n veer laat val” by Boerneef. The film focuses on the difficulty of the writing process of a poem. In the end the poem is written but never sent to the loved one. The wild goose feather becomes a metaphor for his love which cannot be expressed in words.
