Honeyland, dir. Tamara Kotevska, Ljubomir Stefanov
Fifty-year-old Hatidze lives with her sick mother in an abandoned North Macedonian village that has no roads, electricity or running water. She is the last in a line of independent beekeepers who sell honey in small amounts. She trades them in the nearest city, which is four hours away. Every day, she walks along the slope of a hill in order to check her beehives. She loves bees and casts spells on them with her singing, delicately maneuvering honeycombs without protective clothing, a net on her face, or gloves. She lives traditionally, in sync with nature. One day, a large family moves into her area. Screaming children, roaring cattle, and engines enter her life. Hatidze’s new neighbors are also beekeepers, but they treat honey and bees in a completely different way. Tradition gives way to business and maximum exploitation. Hatidze feels that this cannot be changed; it must be expected. However, new settlers can greatly threaten her life and her beehives. The film presents the fading tradition of respect for bees and treating them as partners, not as slaves subject to humans whose only purpose is to make honey.
