As the fame of the street artist Banksy soars - everyone knows his distinctive street signs but no one knows his face - the world wants to know his elusive identity more than ever. This very conundrum is why his new movie 'Exit Through the Gift Shop', (which premiers April 16 in select cinemas all over the world), is bound to be a success. While it offers hints and glimpses into his world, it still leaves his identity a mystery - confounding the press and the people. And there's little people like more than a good mystery - in a dark room while munching on a bag of popcorn.
The above trailer profiled French videographer and artist Mr Brainwash who you may remember we interviewed recently in NYC (The interview video is a must-see.)
Supposedly, Mr. Brainwash (a.k.a. Thierry Guetta) has evidently captured exclusive footage of Banksy over the years, enough to make 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' a reality - while still masking Banksy's identity. Genius? Or Fraud? Let us know!
Oh and we are taking guesses on who Banksy is as well....
