Win one of five double passes to 'Honeyland'

We're giving dish readers the chance to win double passes to 'Honeyland' - winner of the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema Documentary at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.

The debut feature from documentarians Ljubo Stefanov and Tamara Kotevska, Honeyland, is set for release in NZ on March 5. The most awarded film at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival including the Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema Documentary, this moving cinematic triumph was also nominated for two Academy Awards including Best International Feature Film. 

Here's the synopsis:

Nestled in an isolated mountain region deep within the Balkans, Hatidze Muratova lives with her ailing mother in a village without roads, electricity or running water. She’s the last in a long line of Macedonian wild beekeepers, eking out a living farming honey in small batches to be sold in the closest city – a mere four hours’ walk away. Hatidze’s peaceful existence is thrown into upheaval by the arrival of an itinerant family, with their roaring engines, seven rambunctious children and herd of cattle.

Hatidze optimistically meets the promise of change with an open heart, offering up her affections, her brandy and her tried-and-true beekeeping advice. It doesn’t take long however, before Hussein, the family’s patriarch, senses opportunity and develops an interest in selling his own honey. Hussein has seven young mouths to feed and nowhere to graze his cattle, and he soon casts Hatidze’s advice aside in his hunt for profit. This causes a breach in the natural order that provokes a conflict with Hatidze that exposes the fundamental tension between nature and humanity, harmony and discord, exploitation and sustainability. Even as the family provides a much-needed respite from Hatidze’s isolation and loneliness, her very means of survival are threatened.
