Who is Mona Lisa? Is it a self-portrait? Why doesn’t she have eyebrows? Is she only famous because she was stolen? How do we know what Leonardo was thinking?

No conspiracy theories or nonsense in this film, just straight forward information. Since releasing my first film on the Mona Lisa over a year ago, I have been amazed at the response. This is the more comprehensive version I always wanted to do, that uses some of the information from the first film (but in higher resolution with better sound and with clearer graphics), as well as answering the hundreds of questions my first film generated.

Through super8 footage and home videos, this filmmaker mines his personal memories to ask, “Artists are always responding to what’s happening in the world, but how do we respond in a way that’s engaging folks and not alienating them?”
