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 eccentric elderly woman named Pinky, who is full of grit and lust for life. From Academy Award-winning stop-motion animation writer and director Adam Elliot, Memoir of a Snail is a poignant, heartfelt, hilarious chronicle of an outsider finding silver linings amongst the clutter and disappointments of everyday life. Elliot’s highly anticipated follow up to Mary and Max boasts a stellar voice cast including Sarah Snook, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Eric Bana, and Jacki Weaver.

There will be Open Captioned screenings at 13.30 on Friday 14th, and 18.20 on Monday 17th.
