Join us for a screening of one of the most acclaimed films of the past year! This 90-minute Oscar-nominated documentary won numerous awards.
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. It is the inside story of Street Art - a brutal and revealing account of what happens when fame, money and vandalism collide.
The film, which is rated 'R' for language, follows an eccentric shop-keeper turned amateur film-maker 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.
