- EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP
- 2010, Banksy, USA/UK, 87 min.
- With Thierry Guetta, Banksy
"The year's must-see art-umentary."
—Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
"Relentlessly entertaining."
—Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times
"Brilliantly untrustworthy."
—Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
The first film by the legendary Banksy is as witty and irreverent as the incognito artist's guerrilla graffiti pieces. When L.A. videographer Guetta's extensive footage of Banksy and other street artists fails to produce a coherent film, Banksy turns the tables and makes a film about Guetta, who, in a further switcheroo, decides to become a street artist himself! Stunning footage of stealth artists in action (including Shepard Fairey and Neckface, as well as Banksy's notorious Disneyland tag) is ingeniously folded into a slippery satire of the unholy relationship between art and celebrity. 35mm.
