To celebrate Bow Valley Community Week, the Bow Valley Food Alliance is hosting a free screening of Honeyland.

The last female bee-hunter in Europe must save the bees and restore the natural balance, when a family of nomadic beekeepers invade her land and threaten her livelihood.

Hatidze lives with her ailing mother in the mountains of Macedonia, making a living cultivating honey using ancient beekeeping traditions. When an unruly family moves in next door, what at first seems like a balm for her solitude becomes a source of tension as they, too, want to practice beekeeping, while disregarding her advice. The most awarded film out of the Sundance Film Festival, winning the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize, a Special Jury Award for Cinematography, and another Special Jury Award for Originality. HONEYLAND is an epic, visually stunning portrait of the delicate balance between nature and humanity that has something sweet for everyone.

Whether you’ve been in the Bow Valley for a week or a lifetime, we’re glad you’re here and hope you join!
