The screening on Sunday 23 February will be followed by a Zoom Q&A with director Yannis Economides and will be introduced by season curator and Garden Cinema head programmer, Erifili Missiou.

Synopsis:

Dimitris, a grumpy middle-aged man, is having a hard time with his business partner on a particular decision as to opening a new business; and he’s also having a hell of a time with his family members. He has a really short temper, and the unpleasant behaviour of his nasty wife and his disrespectful children don’t contribute much to his health.

Curator's note:

Matchbox viscerally portrays the dark side of the Greek family. Taking the Greek audience by surprise, and now a cult classic, it was an outright slap in the face in 2002, and its heightened realism continues to shock audiences to this day.

Cast:
Errikos Litsis, Eleni Kokkidou, Costas Xikominos
