Exit Through the Gift Shop
The movie is about the underground world of street art and specifically an artist named Banksy. He's never been before seen, and throughout the movie for the first time he films himself but never really reviels his identity. The film starts with a Los Angeles street artist named Thierry Guetta, as Banksy recalls "he tried to make a film about me, but I made a film about him". Guetta through his cousin, Invader, gets into the street art scene and follows artists documentaring the world of street art until he becomes Banksy's guide in lose Angeles. Getting bored himself Guetta ends up becoming and artiost himself and even creates his own show. At the end of the movie theres a huge sale that grosses a million off of street art themed work. Banksy is said to have edited the actual film, from 10,000 hours of footage of vandalism condensened into just two hours. The shots during the movie include some from a bystander point of view, often times the camera is looking threw a car window as Banksy is painting or he just sets down the camera while he works. There are shots of public reaction to the misceallaneous works of Banksy, such as a warped telephone both in the middle of London. The film is known as one of the best modern documentaries.
