Art and Craft

He puts the artist in con artist.

A character-driven documentary portrait of an obsessive forger and the registrar who becomes fixated on exposing him, exploring the blurred lines between art, deception, and compulsion.

For several decades, gifted and incredibly prolific forger Mark Landis compulsively created impeccable copies of works by a variety of major artists, donating them to institutions across the country and landing pieces on many of their walls. ART AND CRAFT brings us into the cluttered and insular life of an unforgettable character just as he finds his foil in an equally obsessive art registrar.
