Honeyland

“quiet, intimate and intense… touched with a breath of epic grandeur.”
-The New York Times

Hatidze lives with her ailing mother in the mountains of Macedonia, making a living cultivating honey using ancient beekeeping traditions. When an unruly family moves in next door, what at first seems like a balm for her solitude becomes a source of tension as they, too, want to practice beekeeping while disregarding her advice.
Premiering at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, where it won three awards and became the most awarded film of the festival, Honeyland is an epic, visually striking portrait of the delicate balance between nature and humanity that has something sweet for everyone. Directed by Tamara Kotevska, Ljubomir Stefanov and shot entirely on DSLRs, in observational style, totaling 100 days of filming over a period of three years in harsh conditions. The International Documentary Association celebrates the film as “a visual feast.”
