So I was listening to CBC radio this morning, AND got really excited because I heard some interesting information on Banksy. Turns out, he was in a documentary (his identity was kept secret because no one really knows who he is) and this documentary was featured at the Sundance Film Festival. After this film was shown, 4 stencils that look like Banksy's work were painted on the walls of downtown Utah. I thought this was very exciting because there is such controversy surrounding his work, is it considered thought provoking art? Or just Graffiti? Here's a link to the new images he created http://www.banksy-prints.com/2010/01/banksy-does-sundance-utah/, and here's the preview of this documentary entitled "Exit through the gift shop" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj7uOIshv8g.
I actually really want to watch this movie, mainly because I really enjoy Banksy's work...

Banksy is one of my favourites too, not only because his work is thought provoking but because it is cross-cultural and found in many different countries! I'm curious to know where he is originally from though, but I guess we'll never know since his identity is kept secretive! I found out about another documentary that I wanted to share with you guys that I forgot about until I saw this post!! Here's a link with a description of the film: http://www.cinemapolitica.org/node/667
