- Summary:
- 'No other crime thriller compares to Filibus!' exclaimed a Corona Films ad in the April 1915 Italian film magazine La Vita Cinematografica and for once the ballyhoo was correct! Directed by Mario Roncoroni and scripted by future science fiction author Giovanni Bertinetti, Filibus is the most exciting, witty, feminist, steampunk, cross-dressing aviatrix thriller you will ever see! Flying high above the clouds in her dirigible, Filibus, the mysterious sky pirate, is a master of disguise and the scourge of millionaires, banks, and the police. Lowered in a gondola by her henchmen, Filibus steals from the rich and then mysteriously vanishes into the clouds. With a new digital transfer, newly translated intertitles, and a stunning score by the famed Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, Filibus is a joy to behold!
