Paired with Sherrie Levine’s After Russell Lee 1-60, participate in the dialogue between art and film, and investigate topics like ownership, value, and creative license.

Lee Israel is a frustrated, hard-drinking author who can barely afford to pay her rent or bills in 1990s New York. Desperate for money, Israel soon hatches a scheme to forge letters by famous writers and sell them to bookstores and collectors. When the dealers start to catch on, Lee recruits a dubious friend to help her continue her self-destructive cycle of trickery and deceit.
