An historical whodunit with the promise of buried treasure, The Stamp Thief is an entertainingly unique Holocaust-related documentary. 

Gary Gilbert, one-time Seinfeld producer, stumbles upon the story of a suitcase full of priceless stamps stolen from Jewish prisoners in Auschwitz by a mysterious Nazi who supposedly buried it in a Polish basement before the Soviets liberated the city. Is it true? Since Poland does not return stolen Nazi treasure to its original owners, Gilbert and a gang of US film-industry creatives, inspired by the film Argo, set up a false film production team in the house where the loot is reportedly buried and pretend to be making a documentary to hide their efforts to unearth the suitcase. 

Part detective story and part heist film, this fascinating doc is filled with unexpected complications, goofy characters, and a labyrinth of twists as it chronicles a small but powerful act of historical reckoning.

This screening takes place at Aloma Cinema Grill (2155 Aloma Ave, Winter Park, FL 32792).

Please note, there are no Enzian Film Society member discounts or reservations for this screening.
