USA - Banksy Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop" , by micko on Mar 29, 2010 16:20:44 GMT 1, Hi - Seeing as this is USA-specific I thought it justified to start a new thread.
i just saw on Wooster Collective that April 16 is the date for a nyc release of Banksy's flick AND a poster. Does anyone know anything more about this?

It's official.
It was announced this morning that Banksy's first film, Exit Through The Gift Shop, will hit theaters in the United States beginning on Friday, April 16th in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Dates for additional cities across the country - including Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and Atlanta - will be announced soon.
Over the weekend Banksy also released the official "one sheet" poster for the film. New Yorkers and street art fans will recognize the building in the image (and the street art and tags) as the iconic old bank building at Spring and Bowery in Soho.

USA - Banksy Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop" , by Agent Provocateur on Mar 29, 2010 16:42:37 GMT 1, Here's an interesting article on a different marketing approach for the film in the US:
Street Artist Banksy Sets Release Strategy For Subversive Feature Directing Debut By MIKE FLEMING | Friday March 26, 2010 @ 4:28pm EST www.deadline.com
Exit Through The Gift Shop, one of Sundanceโs most subversive entries, is getting an unorthodox theatrical release. It has been acquired for distribution, sort of, by Producers Distribution Agency, which is run by Cinetic Mediaโs John Sloss, who repped the film at the festival.
Most buzzworthy Sundance films got bought for minimum guarantees by established distributors who made P&A commitments. This one, a documentary directed by the mystery-shrouded street artist Banksy, will debut in New York, L.A. and San Francisco on April 16 and then slowly platform to other cities. Through PDA, Sloss will book the theaters and handle the marketing and publicity with indie vets Richard Abramowitz and Donna Daniels.
When I passed by the Egyptian Theater one day during the festival, Sloss grabbed me to see the film. Without giving too much away, it focuses on Thierry Guetta, a French aspiring filmmaker who sets out to film street artists-turned art gallery fixtures like Banksy and Shepard Fairey, and then tries his own hand at it, despite questionable talent. It was well received and was funny in a Borat way, and many questioned if the whole thing was a put-on. Sloss swore the self-distribution strategy wasn't done because no established distributor made an offer. There were several, he said.
Sloss said the strategy is right for Banksy, who never shows his face, and who left his mark at Sundance creating street paintings on walls that included rats wearing 3D glasses. He also decorated the side of a barn visible on the way into town, but that got quickly whitewashed.
โThe 20th Century distribution model involved the transfer of rights for 15 to 20 years to distributors who said, `we have the access and knowledge you donโt, give us your film,โโ Sloss said. โNow, there are a lot of high quality distribution and marketing execs for hire, and in the 21st Century, is the other model always necessary? We showed this to the head of Landmark Theaters, and he loved it. When Banksy has such an ability to generate awareness, do we really need significant P&A when so much of what Banksy does is viral?โ
While Banksy be on hand to paint each town with his own version of a one-sheet?
โIโm not ruling anything out,โ Sloss said.

USA - Banksy Film "Exit Through The Gift Shop" , by Fragile on Apr 6, 2010 16:38:09 GMT 1, New York - Sunshine Theater starts Friday, April 16
Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the Palestinian segregation wall in the West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. Exit Through the Gift Shop is the story of how an eccentric French shop keeper and amateur film maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results. Billed as "the world's first street art disaster movie," the film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shephard Fairey, Invader and many of the world's most infamous graffiti artists at work.
