Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen from London Bridge to the separation barrier on the Palestinian West Bank. He fiercely guards his anonymity to avoid prosecution. An eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker Guetta attempts to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner. Includes footage of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader and many of the world's most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview. As Banksy describes it, "It's basically the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.
Inviting all for a five day "CounterCulture Film Festival" at Lamakaan. As a part of this, there will be screenings of films that have shown 'a way of life and set of attitudes opposed to or at variance with the prevailing social norm'.
This day's screening is a tribute to the Freedom of Creative Expression.
All are welcome.
