The Problem with Projection: "Filibus" (1915)

This time out, Barkey reviews an interesting silent film with super-science elements, "Filibus" (1915). Here, a female supercrook matches wits with the police, and uses an airship, knockout gas, and clever disguises to commit daring robberies. Can the police stop Filibus?

This one has been pushed as some kind of "deeply coded message" about transgender, feminist, or people with lesbotic tendencies... but is it really? What's actually in the film? Barkey gives you all the straight dope on "Filibus" (1915), and if it's worth your time.
