Eight Festival Films from Provincetown

“Art and Craft” 
This film about Mark Landis, one of the most prolific art forgers in US history, is a riveting psychological portrait of a dysfunctional loner with a singular gift.  MORE
Mother, I Love You
This story, which is about why we all need a mother’s love and approval, is a far cry from Art and Craft. The Latvian film centers on boy who, desperate for the love and approval of his physician mother, forges a school behavior report and then lies about it. MORE
Wetlands
As the tweeters and texters would type – “WTF”? Charlotte Roche’s eponymous book was a best seller and understandably controversial. MORE
The Case Against 8
This documentary follows Kris Perry, Sandy Stier, Paul Katami, and Jeff Zarrillo, who with their lawyers Ted Olson and David Boies waged a four-year battle to overturn California’s Propostion 8, which had sought to outlaw same sex marriage. MORE
Buzzard
If a director is going to cite Jim Jarmusch, Michael Haneke, and Kelly Reichardt as influences, he or she had better have a sense of poetry and an instinct for revealing subtle nuances of the human condition via a minimalist approach. 
I Origins
 In I Origins the director once again blends science and romance, but this time within a biological context. The rambling plot revolves around the eye as the window to the human soul and a key to the evolutionary process. MORE
The One I Love
Another sci-fi romance. I don’t want to give anything away except to say that attention must be paid – to both the story, because it gets very strange, and to the idea that our better nature and its “ceaseless obeisance to the heart” may not be the best ingredients for a perfect marriage. MORE
Alive Inside
This winner for Best Documentary at the Festival had the audience gasping and in tears. A simple premise is conveyed with overwhelming power: among the elderly residents of nursing homes music can trigger memories and stir long lost emotions. MORE
