Memoir of a Snail
15

Why watch?

“Memoir of a Snail is a beautiful animation featuring characters created with so much depth it’s easy to forget they have been made from clay.”

Wendy Cook,
Head of Cinema

Memoir of a Snail is the bittersweet remembrance of a lonely woman called Grace Pudel, who retells her life story to a
humble garden snail named, Sylvia.

Animation • Critically Acclaimed • Moving

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. From Academy Award-winning® animation writer and director Adam Elliot (Mary and Max), Memoir of a Snail is a poignant, heartfelt, hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.

Our special preview of Memoir of a Snail on the 19th of January will be followed by a Q&A with the film’s director, Adam Elliot.

“Mr. Elliot’s script is so rich and gently funny that he could easily have made an excellent live-action feature from it. As it is, though, the animation makes it even more lovable.”
Wall Street Journal

“As hilarious as it is heart-wrenching – frequently within the same scene.”
Screen Daily

“This touching animated film serves as a reminder that Elliot is a humanist who clearly sculpts his “clayographies” (as he dubs his films) from the very essence of life itself.”
Los Angeles Times
