Movie at the Museum: Dante’s Inferno (1911)
October 15 @ 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Join us in our Victorian parlour to watch the classic 1911 silent film “Dante’s Inferno (L’Inferno)” starring Salvatore Papa, Arturo Pirvano, and Giuseppe de Liguro. Complimentary Popcorn is included in your ticket!
Dante’s Inferno (original title: L’Inferno) (1911) is one of the earliest Italian feature films, bringing Dante Alighieri’s vision of Hell to life with groundbreaking silent-era techniques.
Flaunting impressive special effects, extraordinary production design, and costing an unheard-of 100,000 lire, L’Inferno was truly the first super-production—an international blockbuster running some three hours long, making it the second feature-length film in cinema history after Australia’s The Story of the Kelly Gang in 1906.
Free popcorn provided!
