“The Pressman Negatives” (2006, 09:25 min.) is a photographic narrative that explores issues of time, memory, fact and fabrication. It is the story of jewelry thief Sidney Pressman, his cohorts in crime and the dark world they inhabited in a Midwestern city during the 1970s. Through snapshots allegedly taken by him, it documents the final days of Pressman and his criminal colleagues, brought together for one last heist.
