Here is the plot description for “Exit Through the Gift Shop”:
This is the inside story of street art: a brutal and revealing account of what happens when fame, money and vandalism collide. “Exit Through the Gift Shop” follows an eccentric shopkeeper turned amateur filmmaker as he attempts to capture many of the world’s most infamous vandals on camera only to have a British stencil artist named Banksy turn the camcorder back on its owner with wildly unexpected results.
One of the most provocative films about art ever made, “Exit Through the Gift Shop” is a fascinating study of low-level criminality, comradeship and incompetence. By turns shocking and hilarious, this is an enthralling modern-day fairy tale with bolt cutters.
“Exit Through the Gift Shop” is available now on iTunes and video on demand. The DVD is available on Dec. 14, 2010 and can be pre-ordered now at this link. Become a fan on Facebook and buy on iTunes.
