The QC Environmental Film Series will feature six films at the Figge Art Museum, 225 W 2nd St, Davenport, Iowa at 4 p.m. on select Sundays from January to May.

On April 5th, the Oscar-nominated documentary Honeyland will screen.

Hatidze lives with her ailing mother in the mountains of Macedonia, making a living cultivating honey using ancient beekeeping traditions.

The most awarded film out of this year's Sundance Film Festival, winning the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize, a Special Jury Award for Cinematography, and another Special Jury Award for Originality. HONEYLAND is an epic, visually stunning portrait of the delicate balance between nature and humanity that has something sweet for everyone.
