'Sintel is a smoldering, incandescent coal waiting for paper to ignite into flames again.' Sintel is a slow-paced journey that is both a revolt against and a closer look at the spirit of the times. Everything appears to be about waiting - for fresh fuel - and clinging on to the great ideals of the past just now. But in the meanwhile, life goes on as usual. While everything is becoming quicker and more efficient, Sintel represents patience and contemplation. Sintel wants and expects its readers to take their time. Sintel is not designed to be measured for a specific group, but rather to serve as a focal point for a group. Like a picture in search of a suitable seat.
