The Cat Piano is an animated short film directed by Eddie White and Ari Gibson
released in 2009. Through its 8 minutes we can hear Nick Cave narrate the story
which is a poem being written by the main character. In this bohemian town
inhabited by cats singers begin “to vanish like sailors lost at sea”. Human
footprints are found. Fights break out.
All music is forbidden. And as the town grows cold and bitter our narrator
enlists an army of the brave and declares war. That’s when they discover the
cruelest instrument of all time.
The Cat Piano has won several awards including best short animation in 2009’s
Australian Film Institute Awards.
