Banksy movie up for Oscar!!, by bazzj04 on Jan 25, 2011 15:19:10 GMT 1, Am I the only person who isn't jumping for joy with this news? While i'd be the first to say it's a good documentary, and banksy is a great artist, I just feel as a collector this isn't great news. I know the documentary section doesn't always get the coverage of the major awards but I am sure this will be picked up by the media as it makes a good story - how many anonymous directors have there been in the history of the Oscars. This will mean more people find out about street art, MBW and Banksy. That will help to keep the bandwagon rolling and I fear will push prices higher - while I am lucky enough to have a couple of banksy prints (one signed one not) i would love to have a couple more, or eventually an original. I fear a greater awareness of Banksy will push prices even further out of react and make the circus rounding each new release even more of a farce. Good luck to everyone involved in the film (if i remember right there are credited photographers on this forum and I would say for you guys i hope you can say you were involved in an oscar winning film) and I hope for you it wins.
It would be nice if it wasnt only Banksy art who got noticed and prices climbed but the whole scene, that would make a nice out come i think from this whole "project"

Banksy movie up for Oscar!!, by des77 on Jan 25, 2011 15:21:48 GMT 1, Best Documentary Feature * Exit through the Gift Shop (Producers Distribution Agency) Banksy and Jaimie D'Cruz A Paranoid Pictures Production * Gasland Josh Fox and Trish Adlesic A Gasland Production * Inside Job (Sony Pictures Classics) Charles Ferguson and Audrey Marrs A Representational Pictures Production * Restrepo (National Geographic Entertainment) Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger An Outpost Films Production * Waste Land Lucy Walker and Angus Aynsley (Arthouse Films) An Almega Projects Production yay! ;D
Restrepo need to win that. If anyone here has not seen it yet, its well worth watching and show the troubles troops face in Afganistan

Jakek, I know what you're saying, but... f*ck it! ;D
The more the merrier, I have no signed or unsigned prints and say what the hell. Love it that the uber-establishment actually had the balls to nominate a film that is taking the mick out of art, films and life.

Banksy movie up for Oscar!!, by hlarmy on Jan 25, 2011 20:38:50 GMT 1, Statement from Banksy.... "This is a big surprise. I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me."
He's a funny sod...

Banksy movie up for Oscar!!, by jakek on Feb 3, 2011 18:34:54 GMT 1, Has any one else seen the other films on the shortlist?
I've not watched restrepo yet but plan to over the weekend, but i did watch gasland and really enjoyed it. It was well paced and on an interesting subject which really opened my eyes to a topic i've not read/heard about. Worth watching (i have to admit it downloaded it via (Removed)) if only for seeing water so contaminated that it burns...
