missing four days. "Exit Through the Gift Shop" is a serious candidate to win the prize for best documentary, but nobody knows the face of his principal, the graffiti artist Banksy This year, one of the favorites in the documentary category Exit Through the gift shop, which starts with Thierry Guetta, amateur recording everything that happens around him. The man decided one day to get behind the camera to make a film about street art and some of the most celebrated artists of the `street` art, Banksy, and colleagues such as Space Invader and Shepard Fairey.
But in the midst of recording things turned around, and the enigmatic Banksy who took the camera and started to film Guetta, who from then plunges into the world of street art taken by the alias of Mr. Brainwash.
What is already being called "Banksy film" has been presented at festivals in Sundance, Berlin, Deauville and San Sebastian, and compete for the Oscar against other major titles.
Gasland, Josh Fox, examines the allegedly unscrupulous company procedures Haliburton (which is well connected ex-President Dick Cheney) to dip into the lands of different owners over the United States where there is apparently a valuable reservoir of natural gas. Inside job by Charles Ferguson, is said to be A thorough analysis of the causes and responsibilities of the economic crisis that has rocked the United States and the world. Tim Hetherington Restrepo and Sebastian Junger, has chronicled a year in the life of a platoon of American soldiers in Afghanistan. Finally there is the co-production between Brazil and Britain Waste Land, Lucy Walker, Karen Harley and Joao Jardim, Sao Paulo on the artist Vik Muniz and recycling in the neighborhood of Jardim Gramacho, which receives 7,000 tonnes of waste daily in the Baixada Fluminense Rio de Janeiro. The film has been described as "an enriching experience about the power of art to beautify a conflicting reality."
True Exit star Through the gift shop is the mysterious Banksy. These days, Banksy is wandering through Los Angeles and, somehow, the film self-promotion through its street art.
Those who have seen his work have pointed out, simultaneously, their technical quality and provocative nature.
One of the most controversial of Banksy was drawn to the company Light Group, a chain of restaurants in Las Vegas, and shows the drunken Mickey Mouse, with a drink in hand and unshaven, on a billboard CBS's, threatening to tamper with the ad model as Minnie looks on. The last poster was obviously not agreeable to CBS and Disney Company, and apparently was quickly removed by his own CBS (owner of the billboard) without bothering to previously announced to advertisers. The broadcaster argued that the advertising did not meet their exacting standards.
One of the intrigues generated by the presence of "Banksy's film" among the five candidates for the Oscar documentary is whether the mysterious street artist decides to face if the Academy decides to finally give the statuette. Shall I go on stage to make themselves known to the world? Will you send someone in your place, as it did at the time Marlon Brando? Or the place will be empty, no one answered, as when, in the fifties, it was announced that the Oscar for best screenplay was for a Mr. Robert Rich, who had written a film called The Boy and the bull, and nobody came?
