London Film Festival: ‘Memoir Of A Snail’ Takes Best Film, ‘On Falling’ Wins Sutherland Award For Best Debut — Full List
'Memoir Of A Snail' by Adam Elliot won best film.
“Emotionally resonant and constantly surprising, Memoir tackles pertinent issues such as bullying, loneliness, and grief head-on, creating a crucial and universal dialogue in a way that only animation can,” the jury said in their official statement. On Falling, which landed in London following buzzy screenings at TIFF and San Sebastian, follows Aurora, a young Portuguese woman who struggles to make ends meet across one week in her adopted home of Glasgow, Scotland. The Sutherland award jury described the film as a “richly-layered portrait of a world governed by corporate profit motive” seen through the “story of an immigrant woman whose alienation we feel deeply, told with masterful cinematic precision and understated, lived in performances.”
