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. Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post—hurricane New Orleans to the separation barrier on the Palestinian West Bank. 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 world’s most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview. As Banksy describes it, “It’s basically the story of how one man set out to film the un—filmable. And failed”

Re: Banksy - Exit Through The Gift Shop
Just watched this, pretty good stuff. The guy who was the focus of the film is quite an interesting and good character, pretty funny film also. Great to see a lot of underground art going on and actually watching them do it is cool. Its funny over on the imdb forums there is talk that this whole film is a setup and that the Thierry character is actually just fake and it was all just a big joke by Banksy to get sheep to buy into his image and pay a bunch of money for BS street art.
Even without that the film was very entertaining.Comment
