The Master, 1981

In 1981, Sajtinac was approached by the German channel ZDF to produce a short animation.
The film was produced in the classic method (drawings on paper, cells, camera). In this film, we bear witness to the austere life in a convent whose father superior is none other than the Devil.
After this project, Sajtinac moved away from the classic method to take on, 15 years later, digital production.

Not everything that flies is a bird, 1978
Stockmann-Filmproduktion
Feature length, 01:20:00 (35mm, colour)

In 1978, Stockmann-Filmproduktion released this feature length animation.
This was a compilation of all the short films produced in Yugoslavia
and Germany, plus 20 minutes of new material.

Franz and Martha, an odd couple, are setting up home in their new house.
While Martha sleeps soundly, Franz is haunted by nightmares.

This film was strongly inspired by the 1970 short film produced in Yugoslavia, keeping its title.
