State Your Name

There are a million stories to be told about New York City. This one is about the outlaw art form called Graffiti (bombing) where your name and the crew you rep is key. To society it’s vandalism, to graffiti writers it’s a part of everyday life. The late nights, the rattle of a spray can being emptied of its paint, running subway tunnels dodging the iron giants, the dangerous city nights, the chase from the law, the beef, the battles, and the rush. That’s what every graffiti writer experiences during his/her graffiti career. The purpose of putting "State Your Name" together is to show the true essence of graffiti, it’s not the watered down shit you see on the music videos or on trucker hats. To the old school cats this is a shout out for paving the way, to the newer generation of Graff writers pay your dues and learn your history...

Exit Through the Gift Shop

Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the separation barrier on the Palestinian West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution, Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. Exit Through the Gift Shop tells the incredible true story of how an eccentric French shop keeper turned documentary maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner.
