Trailer For The Documentary BANKSY & THE RISE OF OUTLAW ART
If you’re like me and you enjoy street art, I’ve got a trailer for a documentary that was released today that is worth checking out. The doc is titled Bansky & The Rise of Outlaw Art. I’m sure most of you are already familiar with who Banksy is. Chances are if you clicked through to watch this trailer, then you know who he is.
The film focuses on the artist and how he has helped inspire a new movement of street art. Here’s the synopsis:
As the world’s most infamous street artist, Banksy’s political art, criminal stunts and daring invasions have outraged the establishment for over two decades, but despite being one of the most important figures of our times, Banksy has remained an enigma, with little known about the circumstances of his life and work. His rise coincided with the emergence of Street Art, a form of illegal, public art that evolved from the graffiti scene to change the face of cities across the world. Banksy became the leading figure in this revolutionary new movement, assembling a multi-million dollar empire and changing the way that we think about art. Through it all, however, his identity has remained shrouded in mystery…
Banksy & The Rise of Outlaw Art was directed by documentary producer/filmmaker Elio Espana, director of the films Dawn of the Dead: The Grateful Dead & the Rise of the San Francisco Underground, CSNY: Fifty by Four, Feats First: The Life & Music of Lowell George, and Hamilton: One Shot to Broadway previously.
Vision Films will release the doc on VOD on February 18th.
