JOIN US FOR A VERY SPECIAL Q&A PREVIEW WITH ACADEMY AWARD WINNING VISIONARY, ADAM ELLIOT, AND HIS LATEST MASTERPIECE, MEMOIR OF A SNAIL!
From the creator behind the multi-awarded Mary and Max and Oscar-winning short Harvie Krumpet, comes Memoir of a Snail, a poignant, heartfelt and hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.
Boasting an incredible ensemble including Sarah Snook, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Magda Szubanski, Eric Bana and Jacki Weaver, the film follows Grace Pudel (Snook; Succession), 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 (Smit-McPhee; The Power of The Dog, Romulus my Father), 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 (Weaver; Animal Kingdom; Silver Linings Playbook), who is full of grit and lust for life.
This beautifully crafted stop-motion marvel is sure to leave a mark as a profoundly heartwarming yet bittersweet family saga. Memoir of a Snail serves as a lasting reminder that, though life's hardships might push us to retreat inward, a bit of courage is all it takes to break out of our shells.
