SAVING BANKSY Trailer Says Street Art Should Stay in The Street
It's unclear whether the infamously mysterious street artist Banksy is actually a part of this documentary or if it's just his work that's featured in it, but in any case, Saving Banksy is a doc that debates the merits of art vs. graffiti and tries to answer the question of whether or not street art should stay in the street. It's a somewhat complicated topic, and one that the film's talking heads are certainly passionate about (heads up: there's some NSFW language in here).
They really missed a golden opportunity to call this Saving Mr. Banksy and riff on the Disney title Saving Mr. Banks. No release date has been announced yet, so keep your eyes peeled for this one, which seems likely to hit VOD more than your local multiplex.
The documentary feature film "Saving Banksy" is the true story of one misguided art collector’s attempt to save a Banksy from destruction and the auction block. The documentary was directed by Colin Day with narration by Paul Polycarpou, and interviews with the top street and graffiti artists from across the globe, including Ben Eine, Risk, Revok, Niels Mueman, Blek Le Rat, Anthony Lister, Doze Green, Hera and Glen E Friedman. "Saving Banksy - It's not art unless you can sell it for lots of money."
