“Honeyland,” the most awarded film at Sundance this year, follows the daily life of Hatidze Muratova, Macedonia’s last traditional female beekeeper, struggling to preserve ancient beekeeping practices.

Set in a remote corner of the country, “Honeyland” provides a glimpse of a life unlike our own as well as a “clear microcosm of the tension between sustainability and industrialization; between restraint and a catastrophic lack of foresight” writes David Ehrlich of IndieWire.

• Nov. 19 “Amazing Grace” (2018, USA, d. Allan Elliott and Sydney Pollack) 89 min G.
