    “The Thief Collector” premiered at the recent Sedona International Film Festival where it played to rave audience reviews. It has won numerous awards at festivals around the world.

    “The Thief Collector” is a captivating crime documentary about the heist one of the most valuable paintings of the 20th century — Willem de Kooning’s “Woman-Ochre” — which was brazenly cut from its frame in 1985 while hanging at the University of Arizona Museum of Art.

    Thirty-two years later, the painting was found hanging in the New Mexico home of an eccentric married couple with a keen eye for great works but a very unconventional method of collecting them.

    “The Thief Collector” takes a deep look at how, and why, this mild-mannered couple pulled off one of the greatest art heists of a generation, exploring the complicated dynamics of family, the contours of criminality, and just how far people will go to weave their own grandiose narratives.

    “An art-heist documentary with an ‘Oh. My. God.’ Factor.” — Variety

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets.
