| Item Description: | Title from title screens. Originally released in Italy as a motion picture April 4, 1915. "With 3-year PPR and closed circuit streaming permitted by Milestone"--Container. "Filibus is the most exciting, witty, feminist, steampunk, cross-dressing aviatrix thriller you will ever see! Previously seen in a badly subtitled, imperfect version, Filibus was recently remastered by the Eye Filmmuseum, restoring the film's marvelous range of Desmet tinting and toning in the original nitrate material. To bring the film back to its flavor of the period -- when the characters Fantomas and Arsène Lupin were worldwide sensations -- Milestone hired young poet Austin Renna to write new intertitles based on an improved translation by Eye's archivist Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi. To go with this fantastical film, the famed Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra have created and recorded a stunning score."--Filibus.net, viewed December 10, 2019. Extras include: the original Netherlands opening in 1916 ; five short films: Dutch newsreel Laatste bioscoop wereldberichten (1916), hilarious French comedy Onésime et la toilette de mademoiselle Badinois (Jean Durand, 1912, Gaumont), Italian travelogue Rapallo (1914, Cines), French drama Amour et science (M.J. Hoche, 1912), and Italian feature film Signori giurati (Giuseppe Giusti, 1916, Corona Films). |
