Nominated for TWO Oscars this year (Documentary + Foreign Language), this was also the most awarded film at Sundance, winning the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize, a Special Jury Award for Cinematography, and another Special Jury Award for Originality. "Few movies capture the great wheel of nature turning with as much beauty and empathy as Honeyland, and fewer still show how easily the wheel can slip its track and come crashing to pieces." - Boston Globe
In this new documentary, Hatidze lives with her ailing mother in the mountains of Macedonia, making a living cultivating honey using ancient beekeeping traditions. When an unruly family from Turkey 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...
"The opening minutes of Honeyland are as astonishing — as sublime and strange and full of human and natural beauty — as anything I’ve ever seen in a movie." - New York Times
"First and foremost a graceful evocation of interspecies coexistence, of lives lived in delicate balance with the natural world. But it also becomes something more: a harrowing portrait of how quickly and easily that balance can fall apart." - L.A. Times
"As the world continues to suffer ever-increasing mass die-offs of honeybee colonies, Ljubomir Stefanov and Tamara Kotevska’s film reminds us that there’s indeed a better way to interact with our planet — one rooted in patience, tradition, and a true respect for our surroundings." - Slant
"A sensitivity to both petty human concerns and striking natural beauty is what makes Honeyland a particularly enthralling documentary." - The Atlantic
