THE ART OF THE STEAL at STF
- by Raphaela Neihausen, February 22, 2010
Last Tuesday, THE ART OF THE STEAL screened as a sneak preview at STF with the filmmakers in person. Inclement weather didn’t deter viewers from filling the theater, following the film’s critical acclaim at the Toronto and New York film festivals last fall.
Director Don Argott was joined on stage by producer Sheena Joyce and executive producer Lenny Feinberg (pictured) to discuss their muck-raking investigation into the fate of Albert Barnes’ art collection, valued in the billions. The film is the subject of a Sunday New York Times article and won attention for its poster on the Auteurs site.
This film will begin its official run at the IFC Center starting on Friday.
