AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE

Starring Eloise Smyth and Stephanie Beacham, this evocative drama has earned accolades at the Naples International Film Festival and winning Best Foreign Debut at the Female Eye Film Festival with the film offering a touching exploration of mental health within a family setting.

Set in Suffolk, we follow teenager Chloe as she navigates her clinical depression and a budding romance, while her grandmother Peg is diagnosed with Alzheimer's. This diagnosis adds further complexity to Chloe’s already challenging life, highlighting the struggles of mental health within a family.

The film, which marks Arabella Burfitt-Dons' directorial debut, features a strong supporting cast, including Paul Brennen, Sunetra Sarker, Kierston Wareing, Nigel Boyle, and Brooke Burfitt. Grey Matter is more than just a drama; it’s a poignant exploration of the impact of Alzheimer’s and mental health on family relationships, seen through the eyes of a teenager offering a tender ode to the bonds of family in the face of adversity.

“Grey Matter has a lot of heart and a maturity that’s missing from many coming-of-age films.” - Film Threat
