Sintel

About the film

Sintel is a solitary young warrior who rescues and befriends a small dragon she calls Scales. When Scales is taken from her, she sets off across snowy peaks, deserts and cities to find him — whatever it costs.

A fantasy short with the weight of a feature film: sweeping landscapes, a fluid fight scene, and an ending that people still talk about.

About the project

Sintel was the third open movie from the Blender Foundation (Project Durian). Its team set out to tell a fantasy story with more drama and a more realistic look than earlier projects, and it became one of the best-known showcases of what Blender can do.
