Alive Exit Through the Gift Shop

Banksy is a phantom. Although, or perhaps precisely because, his art adorns facades and walls around the world, no one knows who is behind the celebrated street artist. Until a crazy Frenchman and self-proclaimed documentarian named Thierry Guetta sets out to track down Banksy. With good connections and a bit of luck, he actually succeeds. But then everything turns out differently than planned: Banksy turns the tables and focuses the camera on Guetta. In turn, Guetta embarks on a surprising career as an artist himself.

"I wanted to make a film that would do for street art what The Karate Kid did for martial arts - a film that would inspire every schoolchild to pick up a spray can and get started. But as it turns out, we made a film that did for street art what Jaws did for water sports." (Banksy)

A true (?) story about petty crime, friendship, and incompetence.
