I love Banksy‘s work most because of how it comments on the commodification of art. Here’s a world-renowned master who refuses to authenticate anything he’s done on the street—his canvas of choice. He does this as a stand for the form, for what graffiti has always been. The pieces he stencils are site-specific both in the sense of the wall and the country for which he’s commenting politically. They are simultaneously powerful and fleeting. They strike a chord internationally, spark conversation, provide a sense of awe and celebrity, and then disappear. Others tag over them. Owners cover them with paint. And both are okay considering they aren’t meant to be permanent. It’s less about beauty and aesthetics than emotion and context. They’re rendered immortal by their deaths.

In the publishing world, street art has proven to be profitable fodder: Artists create the colorful work for free, and since it's all illegal, can't take action when you go out with a camera and turn their labor into a book you then copyright. The movement, and in particular its anonymous standard-bearer Banksy, is proving equally useful to documentarians: Colin M. Day's new Saving Banksy is the second doc in less than a year to find a story worth telling about the eponymous prankster. Day's debut succeeds in part thanks to its modest scope, viewing the street-art phenomenon through an...

One of my favorite documentaries is Banksy‘s Exit Through The Gift Shop, which premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. That film, which was directed (or at very least edited) by Banksy himself, takes a look at the ride of street artist Mr. Brainwash using his story as a cautionary tale for the industry built […]

It's unclear whether the infamously mysterious street artist Banksy is actually a part of this documentary or if it's just his work that's featured in it, but in any case, Saving Banksy is a doc that debates the merits of art vs. graffiti and tries to answer the question of whether or not street art should stay in the street. It's a somewhat complicated topic, and one that the film's talking heads are certainly passionate about (heads up: there's some Nsfw language in here).
They really missed a golden opportunity to call this Saving Mr. Banksy and riff on the Disney title Saving Mr. Banks. No release date has been announced yet, so keep your eyes peeled for this one, which seems likely to hit VOD more than your local multiplex.
