In 1989 the first eight cantos of A TV DANTE co-directed by Tom Phillips and Peter Greenaway were screened on Channel 4. The programmes were seen as groundbreaking, a review in The Times said
"Nothing quite like it has been seen on television before. The extraordinary multi-layered images on the screen as not so much state-of-the-art video but the state after that." In 1991 the directors were awarded the Prix Italia Special Prize for the Arts for Cantos 3 and 4.
A TV DANTE has just been re-issued on DVD by Digital Classics and is available from Amazon
