Which Banksy film received a 2011 Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature?

Exit Through the Gift Shop received a 2011 Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature.

The film was released in 2010 and directed by Banksy. It centres on Thierry Guetta, a French-born man who films street artists before adopting the persona Mr. Brainwash and trying to enter the art market himself.

Its Academy Award nomination was announced for the 83rd Academy Awards, held in 2011. The nomination brought Banksy’s work to a mainstream film audience, even though the film’s tone and construction leave viewers questioning how much is conventional documentary and how much is planned artistic intervention.

The film did not win the award. It is also distinct from Banksy Does New York, a 2014 documentary directed by Chris Moukarbel about Better Out Than In. Confusing those titles can lead to an incorrect director or release year.
