The festival that aims to address some of the world’s most serious issues is heading to Sydney as a part of its national tour and is set to include an impressive line up of films.
Opening with Mano Khalil’s The Beekeeper, the festival will run over five days at the Dendy Cinema in Newtown and include a range of films that span a vast amount of regions. The Beekeeper is a beautifully shot portrait of a Kurdish beekeeper who relocates to the Swiss Alps and finds solace in the one constant in his life; his bees.
The films to follow will take you to a mountain village in Colombia fighting to maintain its 500-year-long traditions from Western corporate greed and will follow a Sydney woman as she seeks justice through the labyrinth of the Kenyan justice system. It’s a festival that is sure to incite passion and renewed activism.
You can catch The Beekeeper on the opening night of the festival at the Dendy Cinema Newtown at 7pm on Tuesday May 26. All other films will be shown at the Dendy between May 26 and May 30.
