As an ardent admirer of the enchanting world of animation, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image, “Clayography in Motion: Adam Elliot’s Memoir of a Snail.” The intricate handmade puppets and film excerpts from this heartwarming animated feature promise to offer an immersive and captivating experience.
Starting December 20th, and running through March 2025, the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) is set to unveil an exciting new exhibit called “Clayography in Motion: Adam Elliot’s Memoir of a Snail.” This intriguing display will be open for all to see!
In honor of the 2024 animated feature film “Memoir of a Snail,” which has received nominations for both Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards, the exhibition will showcase a collection of intricately crafted puppets from the movie. These specially designed puppets will be displayed alongside clips from the film, 2D characters from “Memoir of a Snail,” and sets where guests can create their own stop-motion animations.
Adam Elliot’s memoir animated as ‘Clayography in Motion: A Snail’s Tale’ will feature prominently in our main exhibit, titled ‘Behind the Screen'” (or simply “will be displayed in our primary exhibition, ‘Behind the Screen’, under the title ‘Clayography in Motion: Adam Elliot’s Memoir of a Snail’.”)
In the creation of his animated feature, director Adam Elliot opted for clay figurines to represent his life’s central ideas. Elliot himself coined the term “Clayography” to define his unique filmmaking approach.
The heartwarming memoir “Story of a Snail” made its debut at the prestigious Annecy International Animation Film Festival, taking home the coveted Cristal Award for Best Feature Film. IFC Films brought this captivating movie to American audiences on October 25th.
From January 3rd through the 4th, the museum is set to organize a special screening event. During this event, they will play “Memoir of a Snail,” alongside Elliot’s 2009 feature film “Mary and Max” and five additional short films. One of these shorts is his Academy Award-winning creation, “Harvie Krumpet.” Notably, Elliot himself will be present at the screening series.
Previously, the MoMI museum has showcased various animation-themed exhibitions, including “Tim Burton: Sketches (2003)”, “Gumby and the Art of Stop-Motion Animation (2005)”, “The Art of Rise of the Guardians (2012)”, “What’s Up, Doc? The Animated Works of Chuck Jones (2014)”, “Bill Plympton: Short Films and Drawings (2014)”, “The World of Anomalisa (2015)”, “Innovations in Animation from the 1980s (2019)”, “Oops! Animating America’s Beloved Family (2020)” among others.
