Directed By Colin Levy
Produced By Blender Foundation
Made In Netherlands

Made entirely with Blender (a free open source 3D package), Sintel is a showpiece for what can be done on open source platforms. Funding itself was open-sourced in a way, —coming initially from individuals donating online until the Netherlands Film Fund chipped in. I’m not usually one for fantasy films, but even I have to admit that the story and action held my attention. If you’re one for the fantasy genre, this is one you can’t miss.
