May 5, 2023Unfolding “To His Glory” and the first film
To His Glory
The first 2D animation project of Sinai Animation Studio has the title “To His Glory”, where we present the lives of the saints of the Orthodox Church.
The first short film, “Saint Panteleimon – the miracle doctor” will be premiered in 2024. The duration of the film is around 25 minutes and will be available in four different languages: English, Greek, German, and Russian, with more languages to follow.
This project is the main focus of our studio. God’s story does not end at the last page of the Bible. We want to tell the stories of His wonders from then until today.
The first film presents Saint Panteleimon, a 17-year-old doctor from Nicomedia. He grows up in a very rich house, together with his father. Due to his father’s high position among the pagans, the saint receives privileges from a young age, such as studies under the guidance of the emperor’s personal physician. But when the saint turns to Christianity and thus loses his father’s protection, he faces torture and execution. The emphasis is placed on the holiness and work of Saint Panteleimon as well and the tragic relationship between father and son.
