SLOOT

"Life in the ditch"

A typical Dutch ditch: Rarely worthy of a second glance. But those who look closer discover a rich ecosystem, teeming with life and intricate connections. Beneath the surface of a Dutch waterway lies a hidden world. In this short nature film, we follow the lives of fish, insects, and birds across the changing seasons, from winter’s stillness to summer’s abundance. SLOOT is a tribute to biodiversity in a man-made landscape.
