The Dante's Inferno Documentary, now
in post-production, started filming in Italy in February, 2008
and continued in the United States in August, 2008. Additional
filming will be done in Los Angeles during November 2008.
This unique
and breakthrough documentary presents Inferno, the first
part of The
Divine Comedy masterpiece, written by Dante Alighieri
during his exile from Florence, Italy. Dante Alighieri
finished writing Inferno in 1308.
The
Divine Comedy (Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso) is the second
biggest Christian story every told after The Gospel.
The Inferno documentary is an introduction to Dante's
travel through the first part of the afterlife, organized circle
by circle and presented in an unprecedented and unique way that
no other documentary has done it up until now. Dante's Inferno
documentary is a visual and narrative travel to Hell. For
this documentary, several scholars and artists were interviewed
on Dante's Inferno in both Italy and the United States. Visually,
we use most of Gustave Dore's illustrations as well as our original
illustrations from the upcoming Dante's Inferno comic
magazine series and animation
film.
The main
purpose of this documentary is to present Dante's story in an
easy and understandable way to encourage people to read The
Divine Comedy book.
