The Miami Film Festival presents the Florida Premiere of “Forge” from director Jing Ai Ng at 12:00 p.m. Saturday, April 18th.
In Miami, the resourceful Zhang siblings sell forged paintings to unsuspecting parties. Despite their thriving underground operation, the two are still short on cash when they cross paths with disgraced millionaire Holden Beaumont. Sensing an opportunity, Holden convinces the Zhangs to forge long-lost masterpieces as a front for his family’s collection. Meanwhile, FBI art crimes agent Emily Lee moves to Miami and discovers a plethora of forgeries cropping up in the South Florida art market.
Miami is often associated with high-end art and the elite collectors that buy it, but in Jing Ai Ng’s slick and thrilling debut that usual story is flipped on its head – delivering a stunning caper about deception and ambition.
Director Jing Ai Ng will join us for an extended conversation following the screening.
