MEMOIR OF A SNAIL was the opening night film of the 2024 Melbourne International Film Festival and is Adam Elliot’s first feature film since the release of Mary and Max in 2009. His short film Harvey Krumpet won an Academy Award in 2003.
MEMOIR OF A SNAIL is a hand-crafted stop-motion film which was described as “hilarious as it is heart-wrenching” by Screen Daily, following its recent World Premiere at the Annecy Film Festival, the world’s leading animation event, where it won the Cristal Award for Best Film. MEMOIR OF A SNAIL will also be part of the upcoming Telluride Film Festival.
Grace Pudel is a lonely misfit with an affinity for collecting ornamental snails and an intense love for books.
At a young age, when Grace is separated from her fire-breathing twin brother Gilbert, she falls into a spiral of anxiety and angst. Despite a continued series of hardships, inspiration and hope emerge when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric woman named Pinky, who is full of grit and lust for life. MEMOIR OF A SNAIL is a poignant, heartfelt and hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.
MEMOIR OF A SNAIL is an Arenamedia production. Major production investment from Screen Australia in association with Anton and Charades. Developed and produced in association with VicScreen. Financed with support from Soundfirm, Mind the Gap Finance, Jameker, Shadowlane and the Melbourne International Film Festival Premiere Fund (MIFF).
