Our partners at New Ellijay Television have embarked on a new project, to translate, reinterpret, modernize, and rescore the 1915 Italian science-fiction film Filibus.

Chapter one is out now, and they’ll be releasing new episodes weekly until they’re finished.

Watch it here:

From NETV:

We are thrilled to present Episode 1 of our brand-new restoration of Filibus: The Mysterious Air Pirate (1915). This landmark Italian silent film tells the story of the enigmatic Filibus, a gender-fluid master of disguise and sky-bound thief who sets their sights on outsmarting the detective sworn to catch them.

This release is a labor of love from New Ellijay Television. We’ve partnered with rock band Doctor Deathray to create an all-new, modernized score that bridges the gap between the silent era and today.

We’ve also carefully reinterpreted and slightly modernized the original intertitles to make the high-flying adventure more accessible for modern audiences without losing the spirit of the classic.
