Movie I'd Like To See.

What you have just seen is a freelance documentary

entitled "Exit Through the Gift Shop", this movie was

filmed by a French store keeper turned documenter

who tries to locate and befriend the world renowned

graffiti artist Banksy. However, since this street artist

has been anonymous for as long as he has been

around he was very reluctant to being video taped.

Other street artists that are featured are people such

as Shepard Fairley (the guy who came up with

Obama's famous "Hope" poster, as well as Invader

and many more.

This Film not only looks interesting because of the

intense graffiti that is being created before the lens,

but it is because this run of the mill guy is filming the

un-filmable. These are people that express

themselves in controversial/illegal ways. Banksy

alone has been around since the late 1980's and has

yet to be named with a face. His work is mostly stencil

art which saves on time and allows for intricate pictures.

Banksy has done some work outside of the streets such

as sneaking into well known art museums and placing

his own work on the walls (known as "shortcuts"

because it takes too long for the museums to properly

choose which painting to display). All of Banksy's work

has strong political, ethical and definitely controversial

topics.

Below are some of my favorites of his work.
