This Wednesday, April 22, the University of Trieste is marking Earth Day with a screening of the documentary Honeyland, offering audiences a quiet reflection on the relationship between humans and the natural world.
Scheduled from 5:30 to 8 p.m., the event is part of a broader calendar of academic and public initiatives tied to environmental awareness. The screening invites viewers into the remote landscapes of North Macedonia, where the film follows a solitary beekeeper navigating the fragile balance between tradition and ecological sustainability.
The choice of Honeyland—an Oscar-nominated documentary widely noted for its observational style—aligns with the university’s emphasis on interdisciplinary dialogue. Through cinema, the event aims to engage students and the wider public in questions of environmental stewardship, a theme central to Earth Day programming worldwide.
Held on campus, the screening reflects a growing trend among European universities to integrate cultural programming with sustainability discourse. In this context, film becomes not only a form of storytelling but also a tool for examining the ethical and environmental challenges of contemporary life.
The event is open to attendees interested in environmental issues, documentary cinema, and the intersection of culture and science.
