We interrupt the usual lack of broadcast to bring you first 5 minutes of Exit Through the Gift Shop, the somewhat notorious “Banksy film”. If you subscribe to film blogs you’ve seen it 10 times over today, but this is closer to my heart than just the general sympathy for Banksy’s work.

This isn’t really a film about Banksy. You will gather that from this preview (online hype building – you’re doing it right), it’s also about Thierry Guetta, the filmmaker who set out to make a doc about street art and ended up on Banksy’s… erm doorstep.

The filmmaker in a film is my all time favorite motive, when it’s more than putting them in front of the camera but also making them part of the story or even the vehicle that drives it forward.

So stop whatever you’re doing and watch the preview of this “world’s first street art disaster movie”:
