MIKHA'EL is the first historically-accurate feature documentary about the Archangel Michael in cinema. An Avinu Films production featuring a large ensemble cast with multiple story lines, this film looks at Mikha'El's ongoing and jaw-dropping exploits around the world, particularly as Taxiarchis Panormitis, the Angel of Mount Zion, and the Archangel of Monte Gargano. It also looks at the unusual discovery of the Panormitis icon by a hearing-impaired Greek Jew. Languages used include English, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, and Latin. The film has been shot on location in France, Greece, Italy, Jerusalem, Malta, Poland, Ukraine, and the USA. MIKHA'EL is premiering at festivals. The documentary will be available to the public after it finishes its festival run.

TRIVIA
Several and stunning were the unexpected surprises and backstories experienced by various
members of the crew at the hands of Mikha'El throughout the making of this film.
Filming for this documentary, the crew encountered quite a few 'No Camera' situations.
Getting around them was a Herzog-ian exercise in ingenuity.
