FILIBUS (1915) Cristina Ruspoli, Mario Mariani, Giovanni Spano, Filippo Vallino. Great early silent super-criminal film with sci-fi elements. Ruspoli is the sinister sky pirate, Filibus, who pulls off amazing robberies with her super-science airship. When she’s pursued by top-of-the-line detective Mariani, she initiates a series of ruses with him, alternating between male and female identities to create havoc and confusion for the poor frustrated detective while she frames him for crimes and makes off with stolen diamonds. Filibus is a neglected jewel of early silent films. Silent, music score. 35mm.
