"How to Sell a Banksy" a film by Alper Cagatay & Christopher Thompson









Synopsis from the website:

"Banksy’s work now reportedly changes hands for millions.
But he puts up his street art for free. Have you ever wondered
what would happen if you got your hands on one of these?
Does it mean you’ve found a winning lottery ticket or just
scraped some worthless crap off a wall?

Going up against the Art Establishment, Critics, Auction Houses,
Gallery Owners and Authentication Boards in a quest for the
elusive meal ticket, two filmmakers unwittingly gatecrash the
murky and protective world of Banksy.

“HOW TO SELL A BANKSY” raises questions of ownership,
authentication and the true value of art itself. Through all the
chaos and incompetence comes a modern-day, true-story,
crime-theft, comedy-caper."

We could only recently saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and we loved it. Then we listened to the soundtrack and it tripled our admiration to the movie. Plus you get to see Jason Schwartzman and Michael Cera... What else you expect from a movie? eh?

2 Days in Paris (2007)

A great story narrated, directed, and written by French-American actress Julie Delpy. Our poor American guy (Adam Goldberg) being overwhelmed by the French open-mindedness in Paris. We loved it!!!
