Macedonia 2019 89 mins 12
It took three years to shoot the 400 hours of film from which the producers distilled this moving 89-minute exploration of an ancient way of life in rural Macedonia. Hatidze and her elderly mother are, we learn, the last remaining keepers of wild bees in Europe. They tend their remote hives and sell their wares in the city market as we grow ever closer to the rhythms of their life in a heart-stoppingly beautiful landscape. It’s a rhythm that is disturbed by the arrival next door of a rowdy and chaotic farming family with little respect for nature, who try, but fail, to work their own hives. A mesmerising winner of three prizes at this year’s Sundance Festival. (S)
