As you maybe know, I already watched Banksy’s street art documentary at the Berlinale film festival in Berlin. Now - in only ten days - that great movie will come into the US-American cinemas and therefor legendary street artist Banksy published another exclusive sneak peek of “Exit Through The Gift Shop”!
“Exit Through the Gift Shop, the first film by renowned graffiti artist Banksy, became the hottest ticket at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival where it made its world debut. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution, Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film.
Exit Through the Gift Shop tells the incredible true story of how an eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results. The film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader and many of the worlds most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview.” (press release) For those of you, who can’t wait, I recommend to read my short review of the film.
