Interesting facts

Satiemania is a 1978 short animated film by Zdenko Gašparović from Zagreb Film animation studio. The short was created to visualize the music of Erik Satie.

Development and themes

Gašparović drew much of the movie on his kitchen table in ink, pastels and pencil. From a visual perspective, it is described as an impressionistic "metaphor for people drifting mindlessly down the stream of life", but Gašparović states that it was partially based on the stories he had heard as a young boy. It is a series of small animated segments set to six music pieces by Erik Satie (as performed by Aldo Ciccolini).
