What is the title of Banksy’s 2010 documentary film?

Banksy’s 2010 documentary film is titled Exit Through the Gift Shop.

The film follows Thierry Guetta, a French-born Los Angeles resident who filmed street artists and eventually attempted to become an artist himself under the name Mr. Brainwash. It includes footage connected with figures such as Shepard Fairey and Banksy, while presenting an intentionally uncertain boundary between documentary and art-world performance.

Banksy directed the film, which was released in 2010. It received an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature, bringing unusual mainstream attention to street art and to Banksy’s methods.

The film is often called a documentary about Banksy, but its central narrative focuses on Guetta and the transformation of recorded street activity into a commercial art career. That structure is part of the film’s satire of authenticity, celebrity and the art market.
