In this exclusive interview in collaboration with Kinotico, we sit down with Adam Elliot, Oscar-winning director and screenwriter of "Memoir of a Snail", at the San Sebastian Film Festival.

Following the film's big win at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, one of the most prestigious awards in the world of animation, Adam Elliot is now competing in the Perlak section at San Sebastian. "Memoir of a Snail" is one of only two animated films in competition for the Audience Award, alongside "The Wild Robot" from the United States.

MEMOIR OF A SNAIL:
In 1970s Australia, Grace's life is troubled by misfortune and loss. After their mother dies during pregnancy, she and her twin brother, Gilbert, are raised by their paraplegic-alcoholic former juggler father, Percy. Despite a life filled with love, tragedy strikes anew when Percy passes away in his sleep. The siblings are forcibly separated and thrust into separate homes. Gilbert finds himself in the care of a cruel evangelical family, while Grace, grappling with intense loneliness, gradually withdraws into her shell, much like the snails she adopts. As the years pass, and despite new disappointments and sorrows, a glimmer of hope emerges when she strikes up an enduring friendship with an elderly eccentric woman called Pinky.
