MEMOIR OF A SNAIL

November 14 – 22, 2024
Memoir of a Snail
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 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, heart felt, hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.
Dir: Adam Elliot / 2024 / Australia / 94 min

“Memoir of a Snail is a towering achievement.” – Manuel Betancourt, New York Times

“It’s a gorgeous film, but it’s also an emotionally intelligent movie, one that shifts and flows between comedy and tragedy, reminding us that life can only be lived forward.” – Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

“A film that’s as heart-tugging as it is technically impressive, a work of both emotional resonance and great physical detail using only clay, wire, paper and paint.” – Jocelyn Noveck, Associated Press

SCREENING: THU 11/14 4PM; FRI 11/15 4PM; SAT 11/16 4PM; FRI 11/22 7PM
