Early life
Kotevska was born in Prilep, Republic of Macedonia (now North Macedonia). She earned a scholarship to study abroad in Tennessee for her junior year in high school.[1] She graduated from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts at the Sts. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje,[2] with an emphasis in documentary film.[3]
Career
Together with Ljubomir Stefanov, Kotevska spent three years in Bekirlija, North Macedonia filming the documentary about a female wild beekeeper, Hatidze.[4][2] The film was originally going to be a documentary short about the Bregalnica river region when they came across the beekeeper.[5][6] Kotevska and Stefanov previously worked together on another documentary, Lake of Apples (2017).[7]
Honeyland won three awards at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival[8] and received two nominations at the 92nd Academy Awards: Best Documentary Feature and Best International Feature Film. It is the second Macedonian film to earn an Oscar nomination after Before the Rain (1994).[9][10]
