Live music and cinema are colliding in this special screening of L’Inferno, the first feature-length horror film, which will be accompanied by a live score from indie chamber music group Montopolis. L’Inferno is an adaptation of Dante’s famous poem, “Inferno,” which follows the journey through hell. The silent film, which was released in 1911, is complete with elaborate costumes, special effects and set designs that recreate the complex world of the poem. Montopolis’ score brings it to life through a combination of psych rock, dark wave and eerie sound effects composed by Justin Sherburn. Montopolis is based out of Austin, TX and made up of members of the Austin Symphony and other notable ensembles. This show is part of a larger national arthouse cinema tour of L’Inferno, previous showings of which the Austin Chronicle has hailed as “stunning and transcendent.”
