Filibus by Arto fantasma

Filibus is a 1915 Italian silent adventure film directed by Mario Roncoroni and written by the future science fiction author Giovanni Bertinetti (it). It features Valeria Creti (fr) as the title character, a mysterious sky pirate who makes daring heists with her technologically advanced airship. When an esteemed detective sets out on her trail, she begins an elaborate game of cat and mouse with him, slipping between various male and female identities to romance the detective's sister and stage a midnight theft of a pair of valuable diamonds.

Arto fantasma strikes again, with an enlarged ensemble, including bassoon and featuring tympanomaton, an automated acoustic drumset.

The project has been funded by the Humanities Departement (StudiUm) - Università di Torino, in collaboration with SMET-Conservatorio di Torino and Museo Nazionale del Cinema, Torino. It has been premiered at Cinema Massimo, Museo del Cinema di Torino, on March 8th, 2024.
