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.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating documentary about Landis' amazing feats as a forger and con man.
– Tirdad Derakhshani,
Philadelphia Inquirer,

fresh:
It's the kind of story a filmmaker dreams of - and yet, "Art and Craft" leaves the viewer uneasy.
– Moira MacDonald,
Seattle Times,

fresh:
Perhaps the year's most delightfully charming documentary.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
30 Oct 2014
rotten:
Sam Cullman, Jennifer Grausman, and Mark Becker, the directors of "Art and Craft," have themselves an enticing subject in Landis's activities. They do not have an enticing subject in Landis himself.
– Mark Feeney,
Boston Globe,
9 Oct 2014
fresh:
Directors Sam Cullman and Jennifer Grausman maintain a bright tone and a melancholy undercurrent, which combine in an eminently watchable character study.
