This is the inside story of Street Art – a brutal and revealing account of what happens when fame, money and vandalism collide. Exit Through the Gift Shop follows an eccentric shop-keeper turned amateur film-maker as he attempts to capture many of the world’s most famous street artists on camera, only to have a British stencil artist named Banksy turn the camcorder back on its owner with wildly unexpected results.

DIRECTOR | Banksy
The still-anonymous street art artist hailing from Bristol, England. Turning to stencils from a more conventional style graffiti, he developed a voice that was both provocative and unique and earned him international acclaim (his work is already present in the most renowned institutions and art collections). Acting outside the law Banksy set about decorating city centre locations with life size iconography and wry humor. Largely avoiding traditional art galleries Banksy has instead favored disused warehouses and abandoned shop fronts for art shows, displaying work in London, Los Angeles, New York and Bethlehem. Exit Through the Gift Shop is Banksy’s directorial debut.
