YOGA IN THE GALLERIES

Thursday, July 15, August 19 and September 16, 6 p.m.

“STOLEN” Thursday, September 16, 7 p.m. It was the most expensive art heist in Amer - ican history. In March 1990, two thieves disguised as Boston police officers gained entrance to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and successfully plundered $500 million worth of art. Among the 13 priceless works stolen were Rembrandt’s “The Sea of Galilee” and Vermeer’s “The Concert,” one of only 35 surviving works by the artist. Filmed 16 years after the heist, the film raises a new magnifying glass to this crime, following the renowned art detective Harold Smith as he pursues the mystery of the stolen works. With Smith as a guide, it journeys into the mysterious and surreal world of stolen art and examines the many possibilities as to where the art might be today. 2005, NR, 85 min. “HOWTO STEAL AMILLION” Thursday, September 23, 7 p.m. Charles Bonnet (Hugh Griffith) expresses his passion for art by forging masterpieces — and selling them at a hefty profit. The trouble starts when his reproduction of a prized sculpture winds up in a famous Paris museum. If experts determine that it is inauthentic, Bonnet’s reputation will be tarnished. That’s why his fetching daughter, Nicole (Audrey Hepburn, in costumes designed by Givenchy), hires cat burglar Simon Dermott (Peter O’Toole) to steal the sculpture back before it’s too late. 1966, NR, 123 min. “TOPKAPI” Thursday, September 30, 7 p.m. Beautiful thief Elizabeth Lipp (Melina Mer- couri) and criminal genius Walter Harper (Maximilian Schell) put together a plan to steal an emerald-encrusted dagger from Istanbu’ Topkapi Palace. As part of their crew, they hire small-time hustler Arthur Simon Simpson (Peter Ustinov) to act as their fall guy. When the Turkish secret police capture Simpson at the border, they persuade him to spy on his partners in crime, mistakenly believing that they’re Communist agents plot - ting an assassination. Based on Eric Ambler’s 1962 novel “The Light of Day,” this Techni- color film won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1965. 1964, NR, 120 min.
