Global Film Sales on Boris Acosta’s Inferno Films (2020)

“Dante’s Hell and Inferno Dantesco Animato, both films produced and directed by Boris Acosta, will premiere at MIA (Rome film festival market) on October 17, 2020, and later on will have its world festival premiere at the Ravenna Nightmare Film Festival on October 31, Halloween Day and will continue on to November 8, 2020.

“Both films are based on Inferno, Dante Alighieri’s first part of the literary masterpiece, The Divine Comedy. Not until now, has this story been told so descriptively by visual art from artists of the highest caliber and an array of celebrities and known scholars.

“Visually, Dante’s Hell features over 300 paintings and illustrations by several artists, including a new original  re-painted 75-piece art collection by Dino Di Durante, never seen before, a remake from his earlier collection, already published in books available in 33 languages,“Inferno – The Art Collection“. It also features dramatic animation clips from Dante’s Hell Animated with Eric Roberts as Dante and the historic animation film Inferno Dantesco Animato featuring Franco Nero as the narrator.  Furthermore, the final touch of this massive documentary is the addition of some excerpts from the first Italian feature film “L’Inferno (1911)”.

Dante’s Hell is not only based on one of the greatest story of all time, but also on Boris Acosta‘s shocking, eye-opening thesis titled “Dante’s Hell Decoded”, which offers a new vision of what Hell may be like and how it actually could exist.”    –Global Film Sales, WFMZ-TV News, 2020
