2006 Events The Millenial
Bee 

Screened on the 12th October 2006 at St. James Cavalier, Valletta,
Malta.
The Millenial Bee, directed by the highly versatile and esteemed Slovak
Director Juraj Jakubisco, is a film about Slovakian peasants living in a small village from 1890-1920. Happy
peasants are unhappy when the mill burns down, and politics and war wreck their simple life. But the film is not
cliché: it is lovingly made, with terrific acting, an earnest and true story.
Jakubisco’s portrayal of the conflict between the Social Democrats and the
Austro-Hungarian empire was very effective.
