Exit Through the Gift Shop

When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
The Impressionists

A dramatization of the Impressionist movement as seen through the eyes of Claude Monet. Highly entertaining and informative.
