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.

Though only a minute in length, Adam Elliot’s first student film, the hand-drawn ‘Human Behavioural Studies, Series One’ (1996), is like a calling card for the Australian animator, laying out in its three remarkably compressed character studies an interest that would typify all his future works: the tragicomic drama of ordinary lives. -Movie Gazette (from info on Harvie Krumpet DVD)

The latest “clayography” runs 20 minutes in black and white stop-motion, similar in style to Elliot’s previous films. The bittersweet biography centers on a deaf Parisian taxidermist, blending humor and tragedy to create a powerful meditation on love and life. Ernie Biscuit is narrated by Elliot’s long-time collaborator John Flaus.
Ernie Biscuit will have its world premiere at the Sydney Film Festival in June, followed by a European premiere at the Annecy International Animation Festival a couple weeks later.

Adam tells us the story of an older cousin, who had cerebral palsy. Adam would go over to play, and they'd dress as superheroes, jump off the shed, and run about the the street with an old shopping trolley. Adam explains his cousin's wayward left arm, his strong right one, his aunt's understanding of her son's rages ("bake a cake," she'd tell him), and the boy's love of swimming. On Adam's eighth birthday, the cousins are separated by tragedy; it's left to Adam to wonder about his cousin, and if he still smells of licorice.

A nephew recalls the sometimes-lonely and often-eccentric life of his beloved uncle.

Adam looks back, with affection, to his childhood in a small suburban house, with his mum, his crippled and alcoholic dad, their bird Jeanette, and his older brother, who wears an eye patch, has asthma, and gets blamed for things even when he's not around. The boys are boon companions, swiping money from their napping dad and heading for Ruby's store to buy lollies. They draw, collect cans, and watch the brother's pet lizard eat flies (occasionally giving it a snail). Adam's brother has a collection of cigarette butts, and he has a dream: to be an acrobat like their father was before his accident. Can dreams come true?

A tale of friendship between two unlikely pen pals: Mary, a lonely, eight-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max, a forty-four-year old, severely obese man living in New York.

The odd biography of Harvie Krumpet, a man who has Tourette's Syndrome, chronic bad luck, menial jobs, nudist tendencies, and a book of "fakts" hung around his neck - but still optimistically lives own way and enjoys the small things life has to offer.
