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. The most awarded film out of the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, Honeyland is an epic, visually stunning portrait of the delicate balance between nature and humanity that has something sweet for everyone.
This screening is presented by the SWARM collective and Gallery 1C03, in partnership with the Winnipeg Film Group. The SWARM collective is a team of eight artist-researchers working out of the greenhouse artlab at The University of Winnipeg. Their self-titled online exhibition, SWARM, is being presented with Gallery 1C03 from March 3 through April 9, 2022. For more information, visit www.uwinnipeg.ca/art-gallery.
