Oscar-nominated film, Memoir of a Snail, premiered in cinemas around the world to great fanfare last year, including picking up Best Film at London Film Festival.

Now, Luminescence Chamber Singers joins the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Elena Kats-Chernin (composer/piano), James Crabb (classical accordion) for a special series of screenings at ACO On The Pier, featuring live performances of the original score. 

Originally recorded by the ACO, the sumptuous score by award-winning composer, Elena Kats-Chernin is every bit as rich, moving and absorbing as Elliot’s story that unfolds on screen.

ABOUT MEMOIR OF A SNAIL

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 fire-breathing 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 (Harvie Krumpet), Memoir of a Snail is a poignant, heartfelt and at times hilarious chronicle of the life of an outsider finding her confidence and silver linings amongst the clutter of everyday life.

Starring Sarah Snook, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Eric Bana, Magda Szubanski, Dominique Pinon, Tony Armstrong and Jacki Weaver.

Please note Memoir of a Snail is rated M and unsuitable for children under 15 years.
