Filibus 

Saturday, October 30 at 7:00 p.m. 

(Mario Roncoroni, 1915, Italy, 72 minutes) 

A real find of silent cinema and newly restored to boot, Filibus concerns the adventures of a cross-dressing (female-to-male) air pirate. Packed with all the things that make movies fun—mystery, romance, jewel thievery—J. Hoberman of the New York Times said that Filibus “may be the spryest comic-book movie of the season and perhaps the most progressive.”
