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, 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.

“I managed to watch Memoir of a Snail at London Film Festival 2024 (where it ended up winning the top prize) and there was no way I was going to leave the cinema without giving it five stars. It’s an utterly hilarious and heartwarming piece of stop-motion filmmaking featuring some very close to the heart life lessons.” – Hugh Brown, Trinity Cinema Programmer
