Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Memoir of a Snail”, showing Nov. 8-14 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.
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, heartfelt, hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.
This new adult animated stopmotion feature is the bittersweet remembrance of a lonely woman who retells her life story to a humble garden snail called Sylvia.
