ANU Film Group Screening – Honeyland
Event description
PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE EMBASSY OF SWITZERLAND IN CELEBRATION OF WORLD BEE DAY
Living with her ailing mother in the remote mountain village of Bekirlija in North Macedonia, Hatidže Muratova is the last female beekeeper in Europe. Her quiet existence is disrupted when an unruly family of nomad beekeepers move into the village and start beekeeping too but disregard a cardinal rule: to collect only half of the honey produced and leave the other half for the bees. With the delicate ecosystem now disrupted, Hatidže must find a way to restore the natural balance of Honeyland.
Filmed over three years and distilled from more than 400 hours of footage, Honeyland is an eye-opening, visually stunning film that offers something sweet for everyone. Nominated for both Best International Film and Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars in 2020.
