There's a third #skypirate film in this proto- #steampunk trilogy called The Arial Anarchists, but it has been lost for around 100 years.

It's based on a book, though. The book is called Hartmann, the Anarchist; Or, The Doom of the Great City by E. Douglas Fawcett

That's on PG and Librevox. I haven't read it. I might not ever read it. Who knows?

But if you wanted to watch a 115 year old science fiction film about sky pirates... well, go watch The Pirates of 1920, it's a much better movie than The Airship Destroyer.

But if you wanted to watch a Second 115 year old film about #skypirates... Go watch The Aerial Submarine, it's a much better film than The Airship Destroyer.

But if you wanted to watch a THIRD 115 year old film about #airship pirates... well, The Airship Destroyer is now available.

The film is in the public domain, but it's inter-titles and soundtrack are not.

Watch the illegal copy on the internet archive https://archive.org/details/filibus-1915-by-mario-roncoroni

Watch it with no score but still the illegal inter-titles on wikipedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Filibus_1915.webm

Or you can watch a fully legal version here, which is much worse: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Filibus_(1915).webm

Or you can watch my in progress restoration here: https://communitymedia.video/w/nYaqWnn34d57auvQeSE6TY

But I've only finished episode one so far.

So much of what we're working on right now is based in part on this movie.

Our #SkyPirate toys (which will launch to the world in a few more days!) are directly inspired by Filibus and The Pirates of 1920 ( https://vod.newellijay.tv/w/p/nQmSoz1U7RUUVqSLQdeGn2?playlistPosition=1 )

I've been working on a fiction serial adventure series featuring Filibus and her crew, transforming them in to Doc Savage style pulp adventure heroes, but without the bigotry and with a lot more #RevolutionaryJoy

Eventually, I'll also do a video game. Maybe later this year? Probably by next summer.
