BANKSY MOVIE

Because of our screening Thursday at the Charles, I’ve been thinking a lot about this singular movie. It’s like nothing else I’ve seen because of the way it explores artists. It seems straight forward- an untrained hyper enthusiastic fan of graffiti art obsessively films some of the best artists in the world, but he only likes to shoot film, not edit it, so one of the artists, the elusive Banksy, finished the film.  (There are other surprises, but you should experience them while watching the movie.)  Months after it debuted at Sundance, no one can be sure what this is- what exactly is real ? What is art ? Those are of course the key questions Banksy has been forcing everyone to think about for years.

MORE ABOUT THE FILM from MFF DIRECTOR JED DIETZ:

An amazing thing happened at Sundance this year- a surprise film was inserted into the schedule at the last minute. It didn’t even make it in to the catalogue. The filmmaker was reputed to be the sensational and secretive graffiti artist, Banksy, but there already questions about who or what Banksy was. Questions swirled around Sundance: would Banksy show?  is it a real film or a hoax ? It became the ultimate Sundance scene- lines formed around the block hours before the screening, and movie gliteratti were fighting to get in.

The movie is just opening in various cities (Aaron Hillis of the Village Voice said: “A genuinely hip, thought-provoking work of art…the definitive portrait of street-art counterculture, but also a hilarious expose on the gullibility of the masses who embrace manufactured creative personas.” )

See for yourself: Thursday night at 7:30 at the Charles. Seating is VERY limited, and of course priority goes to current Friends of the Festival.

Join Friends of the Festival now to see EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP and more FREE movies all year-round!
