Which 2010 documentary film directed by Banksy was nominated for an Academy Award?

Exit Through the Gift Shop was the 2010 documentary film directed by Banksy that received an Academy Award nomination.

The film follows Thierry Guetta, a French Los Angeles-based clothing seller who becomes fascinated by street art and attempts to document its leading practitioners. Its narrative eventually turns toward Guetta's own transformation into the artist Mr. Brainwash.

Banksy is credited as the director, writer and producer, although the film deliberately blurs documentary, performance and prank. That ambiguity led to continuing debate about how literally viewers should interpret parts of the story.

The film was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 83rd Academy Awards. It lost to Inside Job, directed by Charles Ferguson. Exit Through the Gift Shop therefore remains a notable example of Banksy's work extending beyond walls and installations into cinema.
