Overview

Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the separation barrier on the Palestinian West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution, Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. Exit Through the Gift Shop tells the incredible true story of how an eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A dizzying meta-prank disguised as a documentary that keeps you guessing what's real and who's the joke. Banksy turns his lens on an obsessive collector and asks uncomfortable questions about authenticity, commerce, and what it means to be an artist.
