Standout Features:

- Stunning scenery
- Thought-provoking storytelling
This 4-minute film directed by Christina Amundsen sets two worlds side by side, comparing the emotions of the children’s habits. FERN.film’s Nature’s Child depicts what’s known as the loneliness of the present digital age and contrasts it with the past’s analog era, where youth immersed themselves in natural wonders, exploring the sights.
While the video begins with a sad, dull atmosphere starring detached children staring at screens, it slowly transitions to a fascinating selection of captivating frames full of stunning scenery. As the visuals evolve, we hear grown people remember their youth, reminiscing about their long walks in the woods and lying in the valleys, embracing nature’s gifts.
The stories are told in several languages, pointing to the universal, global experience of growing up then and now. Finally, the video ends with a black screen and powerful white typography that issues thought-provoking statistics and invites people to repair their relationship with the wild!
