Event Description
Discover the secret lives of insects through a series of films that explore the hidden universes of these tiny creatures. From animated bug worlds that reveal courage and heart in unexpected places, to tingly insect documentaries that offer microscopic clarity, we invite you to tune into the micro-movements and quiet mysteries of the natural world.
This film programme is in conjunction with the exhibition Insects: Microsculptures Magnified and Forms of Life, a season that explores multispecies worlds and life beyond the human.
Synopsis
Honeyland (2019)
Follow Hatidže, an elderly woman living in the remote Macedonia mountains where she practises the ancient beekeeping traditions of honey cultivation. Tensions start to mount, when a neighbouring family tries to cultivate honey but disrespects her age-old traditions of beekeeping.
Honeyland was the most-awarded film at Sundance 2019 and the first documentary to receive a nomination for both Best International Feature Film and Best Documentary Feature at the 92nd Academy Awards in 2020.
