About HONEYLAND – The 6:00 Feature. Watch the Trailer Here

The most awarded film at Sundance the year it came out, this poignant and spectacularly shot documentary observes the rigorous routines of beekeeper Hatidze, who lives in near-complete solitude (aside from her ailing mother) in the Balkan Mountains. When a large and disruptive family plant themselves next door, the welcome neighborly company gives way to personal and practical tensions as their commercially-oriented approach to beekeeping threatens to undermine the carefully calibrated ecosystem Hatidze has been maintaining for years.
1 hr. 27 min. In Turkish and Macedonian with English subtitles. Directed by Ljubomir Stefanov and Tamara Kotevska. Awards at Sundance included a Special Jury Prize for Impact for Change, along with a Special Jury Prize for Cinematography, recognizing the camera work of Samir Ljuma and Fejmi Daut.

About THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM – The 8:00 Feature. Watch the Trailer Here

A joyful and unforgettable film, winner of many awards, THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM chronicles the eight-year quest of John and Molly Chester as they trade city living for 200 acres of barren farmland and a dream to harvest in harmony with nature. Through dogged perseverance and embracing the opportunity provided by nature’s conflicts, the Chesters unlock and uncover a biodiverse design for living that exists far beyond their farm, its seasons, and our wildest imagination.
1 hr. 31 min. Directed by John Chester, starring John and Molly Chester and all their farm friends. Featuring breathtaking cinematography, captivating animals, and an urgent message to heed Mother Nature’s call, THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM provides us all a vital blueprint for better living and a healthier planet.
