| | 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.”

“One of the most uniquely memorable animated films of the last decade”
- The Film Stage
FLEE tells the story of Amin Nawabi as he grapples with a painful secret he has kept hidden for 20 years, one that threatens to derail the life he has built for himself and his soon to be husband. Recounted mostly through animation to director Jonas Poher Rasmussen, he tells for the first time the story of his extraordinary journey as a child refugee from Afghanistan. FLEE pushes the boundaries of documentary filmmaking to present a moving memoir of self-discovery.
Runtime: 90 minutes
Rating: PG-13

| | Chip and Gus, oddball acquaintances, meet once a month in the grungy back room of an upstate New York sports bar, to do the one thing they love...play ping pong. But this night is different...this night there is something else in the room. Gus (John Ahlin), a flamboyantly stoic professor of Philosophy and socially inept genius, spouts jokes and pedantry. Chip (Christopher Patrick Mullen), is a goofy struggling music teacher and composer, whose life hangs by a thread. On this particular evening, Chip and Gus are on a collision course...only they don’t know it.
This spectacular, gripping, rapid-fire human symphony took FringeNYC by storm - celebrated as Winner Overall Excellence Award for Ensemble. Born in a Philadelphia-area garage, ChipandGus comes home for a not-to-be-missed weekend of Pop-Up performances at Hedgerow Theatre, in Media, PA. Catch the production before it volleys across the Atlantic for the world-renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer. | Buy tickets |
