Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to join us for a theatrical screening of Memoir of a Snail, followed by an in-person conversation with writer/director Adam Elliott, moderated by Scott Mantz (entertainment journalist).

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.

From IFC Films, Memoir of a Snail will be released in theaters on October 25.
