"The Forgery" - Trailer

Directed by: Gabriella Loutfi

'The Forgery' takes us back to the 1920's to reveal how Henri VanMeegeren, a no-name artist, criticized for his outdated techniques, uses his talents of being a chemist and oil painter to create 'Vermeer' forgeries. Not only does he fool the most prominent art specialists into believing his fake paintings date back 300 ago, but he manages to get these 'newly discovered Vermeers' featured in museums around the world. Unfortunately, Henri can never take the credit for these paintings; once he realizes his fate, things begin to unravel and he is charged for something he'd least expect.
