Film Synopsis from A Design Film Festival
Banksy Does New York by Chris Moukarbel (USA, 79 mins) |  |
When infamous street artist Banksy revealed his NYC residency, he set off a daily scavenger hunt among fans, would-be art collectors, and, of course, the police. Everyone wanted a piece of his ephemeral works before they were destroyed or removed. Chris Moukarbel tracks the course of Banksy's secretly created works across NYC and explores the unprecedented speed of the public's reaction.
