Memoir of a Snail

2023

Memoir of a Snail (2024) is an Australian adult stop-motion animated tragi-comedy film.

The film tells the sad story of twins who become orphans after their father dies. Grace & Gilbert Pudel are separated and sent to foster homes on different sides of the country.

Grace lives in Canberra with the benignly negligent Ian and Narelle, and Gilbert is in Perth with a family of religious fundamentalists.

Much of the story centres on Grace who obsessively collects snails.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
