Honeyland

Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov\'s observational documentary stumbled onto its parable: a beekeeper named Hatidze, the rule of "half for me, half for you," and the family next door who refuses to follow it. The film won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize and became the first to receive Oscar nominations in both Documentary and International Feature categories.

• Filmed over three years with 400 hours of footage.
• First film to be nominated for both Best Documentary and Best International Feature in the same year.
• The two directors initially set out to film an environmental short.
• Hatidze, the protagonist, lives without electricity or running water.
• The neighboring family's arrival fundamentally altered the narrative mid-shoot.

• "Half for me, half for you."
• "They will destroy everything."
• "My mother is dying."
• "There are no more bees."
• "I am alone."
