Exit Through the Gift Shop

Hi everyone! 

As a film student I'm interested to see how street art is represented in film.
‘Exit Through the Gift Shop’ provides an insight into the very secret world of street artists as we follow an eccentric French shopkeeper and amateur filmmaker attempting to locate and befriend Banksy, a street artist with a global reputation.

 The film contains footage of Banksy, Shephard Fairey, Invader and many other infamous street artists at work. I think this movie is fascinating because it allows the audience to get an insight into the camaraderie between street artists, the methods they adopt to share their artwork as well as providing an insight into Banky’s working life.    

Here is the trailer for ‘Exit Through the Gift Shop'. Hope you enjoy!
