An early silent adaptation of Dante's theological epic, depicting the poet's descent through Hell as a visually strange, spiritually weighty journey through damnation and moral reckoning.

A two-reel adaptation of Dante Alighieri's Inferno from the Divine Comedy by Helios Film. It is less well-known than the five-reel feature produced the same year by Milano Films, but it was released earlier in 1911.
