Oscar-winning animator Adam Elliot on his acclaimed film ‘Memoir of a Snail’

Childhood trauma, addiction, poverty, homophobia, religious extremism and disability are just some of the hard-hitting themes in filmmaker Adam Elliot’s new dark and humorous film “Memoir of a Snail”. The Oscar winner speaks to Eve Jackson about this whimsical and tear-jerking Australian stop-motion film about separated twins, which won the Cristal award for best feature at Annecy, the world’s top animation festival. The feature also took the top prize at the London Film Festival last year and was nominated for a Golden Globe. Adam is also sharing his creative process in an exhibition in Melbourne, Australia at ACMI.
