This Halloween season, Cornell Cinema is delighted to welcome Montopolis to Sage Chapel for a live screening of L'Inferno (1911)! An adaptation of Dante’s classic journey through hell, this masterpiece of silent film employs elaborate costumes, special effects, and set design to create an awe-inspiring and ethereal world.

The original Montopolis score brings new life to this horror classic with a mix of psych rock, dark wave and terrifying sound effects performed live. Montopolis is following up their critically acclaimed tour of Man with a Movie Camera with a national arthouse cinema tour of L'Inferno in 2024. Get your ticket today for this special event which is a highlight of the spooky season in Ithaca!

This special event will take place in Sage Chapel. Special event tickets are required and all tickets must be purchased online in advance of this event.

Cosponsored by the Wharton Studio Museum and presented as part of Silent Movie Month in Ithaca.
