Memoir Of A Snail

Adam Elliot / Australia / 2024 / 94 mins / age advisory 15 yrs +

The bittersweet tale of Grace Pudel who learns through the telling of her autobiography, that the worst cages are the ones we create for ourselves and that life can only be understood backwards, but we have to live it forwards.

Shot in the traditional and time consuming artform of stop motion animation, every single prop, set, and character is a unique handmade tangible object made by a team of artists who spent almost a year making the 7000 objects needed to tell Grace's tale.

‘Charming and poignant. Thoroughly enjoyable.’ - The Guardian
‘An evocative feat of visual storytelling’ - Slant Magazine
