Adam Elliot presents his latest film at Annecy Festival

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 touching, heartfelt and amusing account of an outsider’s journey to find confidence and positivity amid the chaos of everyday life. The film blends idealism and irreverence, tenderness and bittersweetness reminiscent of Elliot’s beloved cult classic Mary and Max (2009).

The voice cast is led by Golden Globe Award and Primetime Emmy Award winner Sarah Snook (Succession), Academy Award Nominee Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom, Silver Linings Playbook), Golden Globe Award winner and Academy Award Nominee Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Power of The Dog), Nick Cave, and Eric Bana.
