"Exit Through the Gift Shop was going to be a documentary about a graffiti artist. Then he and the director swapped jobs."

USA - Banksy Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop" , by Daniel Silk on Apr 12, 2010 20:50:10 GMT 1, IFC Podcast - www.ifc.com/news/2010/04/banksy.php
"The excellent "Exit Through The Gift Shop" is the most recent example of a doc in which the subject, Thierry Guetta, and the filmmaker, British artist Banksy (allegedly) seem to have openly competing agendas -- Guetta sees his story as one of artistic success, and Banksy as a sad testament to hype being everything in the mainstream art scene.
This week on the IFC News podcast, we talk about the film (with spoilers -- please consider yourselves warned!) and about other docs that call out conflicting motives between filmmaker and film subject."

Some film festivals will only show a film if it hasn't previously been screened at another festival in the same country. Exit was premiered at Sundance in Jan that may well be why it's not in the festival.

USA - Banksy Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop" , by boaty on Apr 16, 2010 14:49:51 GMT 1, Just picked this up from Wooster's facebook page:
Not sure how true, but rumor has it "Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley, a huge Banksy fan, quietly set it up so that when you "check in" this weekend at any of the movie theaters where the film is playing (ie San Fran, New York, LA, Palo, Berkeley, and Palo Alto) and mention the word “Banksy” in a shout, it unlocks a secret Banksy fan badge."

USA - Banksy Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop" , by Wearology on Apr 17, 2010 12:46:21 GMT 1, I loved the movie and consider myself a Banksyhead - my wife loved the movie and she definitely is not a head - the consensus was that this movie was a fictional depiction of the underworld street scene - 1. at times there were more than 1 camera angle on the shot 2. thiery had some very rapid weight gains and losses 3. the story in Disney about security not checking his sock - the week after 9/11 was completely silly 4. MBW needed a lot of money to buy tapes , equipment , the gallery show etc. and a vintage clothing store in LA is not going to fund that.

USA - Banksy Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop" , by AFR1KA on Apr 17, 2010 18:23:44 GMT 1, THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE SPOILED DO NOT READ!!!!
Wow am i the only person who did not like this movie. The first half was decent with some great footage but once the film started featuring "Mr. Brainwash" it made me feel sick. Maybe its just me but just because you are a nice and likable person (Which he generally seems to be) that does not make you a talented artist. Watching the process of how he makes his "Art" was just horrible (did no one else feel sick by the fact that he pays sculptors day rates to make pieces and thens sells them for 30 thousand!) and showed the process of someone truly exploiting the street art scene for there own financial gain. This movie did nothing but affirm my belief that Mr Brainwash should stick to filming (which he is very good at). Banksy seems to have a great sense of humor and just an all around cool dude and saves the movie with his commentary (would have been nice to see more footage of him working instead of MBW preparing for his LA show) Overall I thought the first half was great, the second half was horrible. The next time I watch it Ill stop watching once the transformation to MBW begins.

USA - Banksy Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop" , by otomi on Apr 17, 2010 18:49:44 GMT 1, watched it yesterday - what a great movie - talked about it for hours - still don't like mbw's art but he is a passionate guy and he seem to be a good business man with his stores and his art - he did so many street jobs with all the artist without any credit for it - i would love to see more of his footage there must be some spectacular art stunts in there of all the big players - my girlfriend won the movie poster at a raffle in the theater
About Mr Brainwash - let's face it many street artist use other peoples imagery so that is not new many artist have a staff of helpers the difference is that he made a lot of money and in my opinion has no talent - someone in the theater screamed fuck you at the screen must have been an artist who doesn't sell well - the problem is not mbw the problem are people that pay 25k for a piece without having ever seen any of his pieces - it was fun to see how he pulled the prices out of his *** - there are plenty of artist that I don't like and think have no talent but I don't get angry at them for making art I just don't buy it or go to further shows ... also LA was the perfect setting for this rich people without any personality that follow any hype (not all of them of course)
