This month, we return to celebrate and examine the work of a personal favourite of mine: Greek-Cypriot director Yannis Economides (b. 1967).
Heralded as one of several filmmakers responsible for a recent resurgence in Greek cinema and an auteur of modern realism, Economides has spent a 20-year career as a feature director exploring the darker sides of human nature and their many manifestations among the lower and middle class of modern Greece, helming bold, unsettling, and often darkly humorous films like Matchbox, Soul Kicking, Stratos, and Ballad for a Pierced Heart.
