The late Norval Morrisseau is known as Canada's Picasso. He was the father of the Woodlands style. His work was exhibited at the Pompidou Center in Paris, the National Gallery of Canada, and he was a member of the Order of Canada. Morrisseau is without question one of the most important painters in Canadian history. So why are so-called original Morrisseau paintings selling on eBay for $129? The answer is fraud. The market has been flooded with thousands of fake Morrisseau paintings and prints. In March 2023, eight people were charged and arrested in connection with these fakes and are now starting to be convicted. The police investigation started, in part, because of the Jamie Kastner documentary There Are No Fakes.Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Kevin O'Keefe (Fact Checking), max collins (Production Manager), Jesse Brown (Host and Publisher)Featured guests: Ryan McMahon and Jamie KastnerAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther information:There Are No Fakes — TVO8 charged over 1,000 paintings seized in Norval Morrisseau art fraud investigation — CBCMan who oversaw massive Norval Morrisseau art forgeries sentenced in Thunder Bay to 5 years in prison — RCISponsors: CAMH: CAMH is building better mental health care for everyone to ensure no one is left behind.

For a guy nobody wants to talk about, we certainly had a lot to talk about....On yet another very special episode we dive into the underbelly of the world of hacking, illegal surveillance and some occasionally deprived and really weird stuff in the new documentary Nobody Wants To Talk About Jacob Applebaum which is having a second screening tonight at the TIFF Bell Lightbox before it debuts on CBC Gem this coming Wednesday the 26th.Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, had a crucial hearing at London's High Court last week where judges approved a short extension on his appeal to challenge possible extradition to the U.S. to confront 18 charges, predominantly under the Espionage Act. His fate, and the fate of those who worked with him, is still up in the air. If and/or when Assange is extradited to the U.S., attention will surely shift to his closest allies, including American Jacob Appelbaum, referred to as “WLA3” (WikiLeaks Associate 3) in indictments against Assange, who himself is currently residing in exile in Germany.  A new film by Canadian filmmaker Jamie Kastner, "Nobody Wants To Talk About Jacob Appelbaum" delves into the intriguing yet troubled persona of Appelbaum, whose destiny appears tightly interwoven with Assange's, and the obscure subculture from which they both emerged.  Kastner ("The Skyjacker's Tale”, "There Are No Fakes," + ) embarks on a quest to unravel the mysteries surrounding Jacob Appelbaum.  The film includes interviews reluctantly secured from elusive individuals including Appelbaum himself, woven together with seldom-seen footage and original investigative efforts, forming a cautionary tale relevant to our times.No word of lie, but this one gets a little out there, we had the pleasure of sitting down with friend of the show, director Jamie Kastner about what drew him to this story, how the film sits just on the wrong side of uncomfortable at times plus a little bonus news about how one of his previous films actually helped to generate some positive results in the world.Nobody Wants To Talk About Jacob Applebaum is on CBC Gem this Wednesday June 26th. 

The current housing crises do more then just take the roof from over people's heads...On this episode we're diving into a very relevant documentary on many levels that is streaming for free on tvo.org and is happening in our own backyard.  It's time to enter 'Charlotte's Castle'.Charlotte's Castle is the story of a cultural hub's real estate borne crisis, told through one remarkable rental building and its remarkable inhabitants. It chronicles the battle of a quirky cast of unlikely activists who want to hang on to their rented homes against a foreign-owned developer they fear will ruin a cultural landmark, of which they consider themselves the caretakers. Spadina Gardens, the half-block mid-rise apartment at Spadina and Lowther, built in 1904, is the oldest Toronto building to maintain its original floor plans, not to mention many original details (subway tiles that pre-date the subway by half a century!). Vast, luxurious rental units have drawn an equally eclectic mix of tenants: literary, industrial, operatic, distressed gentlefolk to ascending rock stars. They embody the creative class who drew developers to Toronto in the first place, driving property values up. But now, though their plight is understandably often overshadowed by harder luck stories, even they are no longer able to afford the city which they helped to enrich.  The struggle over the preservation of Spadina Gardens is emblematic of the battle, secretly at the heart of the national current housing crisis.It's a film that's told with heart and humor as director Jamie Kastner manages to tackle a very serious subject that is happening in cities all across North America and give it some genuine panache and style.Kastner is a filmmaker whose always trying to shine a light on something relevant in our world while still maintaining a genuine sense of entertainment to anything that he puts on the screen.We had the pleasure of sitting down with Jamie to talk about the origins of the story, the realties that he discovered while making the documentary and so very much more.Charlotte's Castle is available for free on TVO.org now.

The Thunder Bay Police has given credit where credit is due: they say Jamie Kastner's TVO documentary "There Are No Fakes" was an "inspiration" to breaking apart the criminal ring responsible for flooding the international art market with fake Norval Morrisseau art. But they also want all of Kastner's cutting-room-floor footage and anything else that can bolster their case. Jamie Kastner discussed why filmmakers should not be involved in police work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Known in his lifetime as the ‘Picasso of the North', Norval Morrisseau was one of Canada's most revered indigenous artists. But now, police have charged eight people who they believe produced more than a thousand fake artworks under the artist's name, making millions of Canadian dollars and perhaps making history in the world's biggest case of suspected art fraud.This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

A new documentary called “There Are No Fakes” explores what the filmmaker says could be the largest art fraud scam in Canadian history. What begins as a document of a court case and its countersuits turns into something more important, more vital, as it underlines how Indigenous artists, even world-famous ones, have been exploited. Joining me in studio are director Jamie Kastner and one of the film's subjects, Barenaked Ladies member Kevin Hearn.

This week on The Richard Crouse Show: A new documentary called “There Are No Fakes” explores what the filmmaker says could be the largest art fraud scam in Canadian history. What begins as a document of a court case and its countersuits turns into something more important, more vital, as it underlines how Indigenous artists, even world-famous ones, have been exploited. Joining me in studio are director Jamie Kastner and one of the film’s subjects, Barenaked Ladies member Kevin Hearn.

I love this so much. I interviewed director Jamie Kastner and Barenaked Ladies member Kevin Hearn this morning about a fantastic film they have coming out on June 14 called "There Are No Fakes." The whole interview will air in a week or so but I wanted to share this great clip of Kevin talking about working with Lou Reed. Reed was his friend and musical hero. He was also Reed's musical director and keyboardist from 2007 until his passing in 2013.

As the Second World War fades from living memory, D-Day, the Allied operation whose success led to the liberation of France and the rest of Western Europe from Axis forces, continues to serve as a microcosm for the preservation of democratic values in the world today. For those who fought, D-Day has important lessons to teach about how the past is remembered and what stories we tell to future generations. In this On War and Society Special Episode, guest host Kyle Pritchard talks with producer Elliott Halpern to discuss a new documentary airing on History, formerly the History Channel, on June 1st, 2019 at 9 pm. “D-Day in 14 Stories” blends first-hand accounts with re-enactments and animated renderings of the landings and is exclusively narrated by veterans and witnesses of the Allied Invasion of Normandy. To commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the landings next month, "D-Day in 14 Stories" offers a varied account of the strategic and personal challenges veterans and others faced. Elliott Halpern is an Emmy-award winning producer. He is the owner and creative director of yap films and has produced, written and directed many outstanding feature length films for television. He has previously produced Canad's War in Colour (2005), Vimy Ridge: Heaven to Hell (2007) and Black Watch Snipers (2016). References Elliott Halpern, D-Day in 14 Stories. Documentary.

Jamie Kastner's documentary "The Skyjacker's Tale" tells the story of Ishmael Muslim Ali an American convicted of murdering eight people in the US Virgin Islands who hijacked an American Airlines plane full of passengers to Cuba on New Years Eve 1984, and got away with it.
