Igor Trajkovski Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I am proud to announce that a documentary film from my country Macedonia was nominated in the new documentary category for the 34th ASC Awards: Two directors - Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov. Two cinematographers - Fejmi Daut and Samir Ljuma. 400 hours of material, approximately 100 shooting days, during three years of the production. Shot mainly on Nikon DSLRs. I was pleasantly surprised for its Rotten Tomatoes rating of 99%. Nice article on No Film School about the shooting of the film:'Honeyland': Shooting By Candlelight and Oil Lamp Like an 18th-Century Dutch Painter Available on AppleTV - LINK PS: At the ASC nomination ceremony the cinematographers names were pronounced super funny and incorrect. On Facebook they both have a good tease on each other about their "new" names. ? So ASC, note: Fejmi Daut -> Fay-mee Dha-oot, Samir Ljuma - > Sah-meer Lyoo-mah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Trajkovski Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Just received a link to YouTube where somebody put the entire film. English hard coded subtitles included.? Enjoy! Trivia: Almost all spoken language between the main protagonists is not the native Macedonian language. It is Turkish and from what i gathered, between Hatidzhe and her mother even an older Turkish dialect - the mentioned protagonists being part of an ethnicity group.
