Real Street Art.


As far as movies go, I'm no expert but Exit Through The Gift Shop was simply spectacular. This film was directed by non-other than the notorious Banksy... If that's not reason enough to see it, than I don't know what is. The documentary tells the story of a street-artist-wannabe named "Mr. Brainwash" and how his "claim to fame" may be less legitimate than he made it out to be.
Basically, he was a man with a camera who knew Space Invader, a famous street artist. He convinced Space Invader to let him follow him around with a camera. He began meeting other artists and eventually crossed paths with Banksy.
Banksy, being a good person, encourages him to begin making his own street art but what Mr. Brainwash actually did was nothing near what Banksy intended.

I don't want to give too much away, so in order to get the full story I suggest you check the film out for yourself. Trust me, you wont regret it!
