Dir: Adam Elliot | Australia | 2024 | 94 mins

Voice cast | Sarah Snook, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Eric Bana, Nick Cave, Jacki Weaver

Nominated for Best Animated Feature at the upcoming Academy Awards. 

Oscar-winning director Adam Elliot’s (Mary and Max) latest ‘clayography’ is a funny, moving and resonant stop-motion triumph with a voice cast including Succession’s Sarah Snook, Oscar nominees Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Power of the Dog) and Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom) and musician Nick Cave.

1970s Australia: Twins Grace and Gilbert are separated as children, sending Grace into a spiral of anxiety and angst. But her life changes when she meets elderly eccentric Pinkie, who has ‘done it all’ – from making love to John Denver to playing ping pong with Fidel Castro. Full of Elliot’s distinctive wit, Memoir of a Snail is a poignant and offbeat joy.

Please note: the screening on Thursday 20th March at 11am will include descriptive subtitles.
