International Premiere

Direct from its world premiere at the 2026 Goteborg Film Festival and win for Best Nordic Feature, The Quiet Beekeeper brings the lives of those in the rarely seen Midwest of Sweden (the province of Värmland), to the Midwest of America. It’s an exploration of love, nature and the cycles of life through the eyes of a father and daughter longing for connection. The taciturn title character is Olof (co-screenwriter Adam Lundgren) beautifully communicates Olof’s inner world. –Alissa Simon
