When an unruly family moves in next door, what at first seems like a balm for her solitude, becomes a source of tension as the family, too, wants to practice beekeeping, while disregarding her advice.

Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov’s “Honeyland,” which took home multiple awards at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival, is set to start Park City Film’s November weekend screenings. The documentary is about a Macedonian beekeeper. Park City Film finds movies that adhere to conceptual programs SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Park City Film looks to November as a lead into the holiday season, and that’s reflected in two free films the nonprofit will screen during Thanksgiving Break. Those films will be Chris Columbus’ 1990 comedy “Home Alone,” starring Macaulay Culkin, on Nov. 27, and Vincente Minneli’s 1944 romantic comedy, “Meet Me In St. Louis,” with Judy Garland, said Executive Director Katharine Wang. “We partner with the Park City Library during school breaks to create a safe and engaging place for students to go see films by themselves or their families,” Wang said. “And these are holiday films that can be enjoyed by all ages.” Weekend Screenings In addition to the free screenings, Park City Film has also programmed three weekend showings of documentaries — Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov’s “Honeyland,” Janice Engel’s “Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivins” and Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman’s “Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice.” “Honeyland,” a documentary about a Macedonian beekeeper that screens from Nov. 1-3, premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival was the most-awarded film at the festival, taking home the Cinematography and Grand Jury Prize for World Cinema Documentary, as well as the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Impact and Change. “This is an unbelievable film that transports you to a totally different world,” Wang said. The beekeeper, Hatidze Muratova, uses an old-school COURTESY OF PARK CITY FILM Park City Film’s final November screenings will be Michael Engler’s historical comedy “Downton Abbey,” which continues the story of the acclaimed PBS television series. The film will be screened from Nov. 29-Dec. 1. technique that requires her to climb mountains to harvest honey from wild bees. “The way she does it creates a relationship with nature,” Wang said. “She talks with the bees and takes half of the honey in a sustainable relationship so the bees can survive and she can use and sell (it).” The environmental theme of the film is universal, according to Wang. “There is a metaphor for modernization and modern life when a very boisterous family with a gaggle of children moves in next door,” she said. “They decide they want to cultivate honey as well, but they also want to make money as quickly as possible. And you see the family as a modern world intruding on the older ethic.” “Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivins” will be the next weekend screening from Nov. 8-10, Wang said. The documentary shows who the Pulitzer Prize-nominated Dallas journalist was. “Molly was no-holds barred,” she said “She said what she thought, and when she said it, she was a very thoughtful, smart and articulate person.” While Ivins repeatedly described herself as liberal, she equally took issue with both conservatives and liberals, Wang said. “Molly gave out unvarnished truth, but did it with humor, which I think was her genius,” Wang said. “Sometimes you need to get a laugh to bring people together and bring down some barriers to invite conversation. It is about us, ‘We the People’ and the government works for us collectively. And this is a powerful tribute to an incredible woman who died before her time.” A portion of ticket sales for “Raise Hell” will benefit the American Civil Liberties Union, which the filmmakers require for screenings, Wang said. “Molly was closely aligned with Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov’s documentary, “Honeyland,” not rated When: 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 1 and 2; 6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3 Where: Park City Library’s Jim Santy Auditorium, 1255 Park Ave. Cost: $8 general admission; $7 students and seniors Web: parkcityfilm.org the ACLU, so the filmmakers decided if they were going to bring the documentary into the public, then it should benefit something that was close to her heart,” she said.
