  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    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

The museum opened from January 10 to May 12, 2013 what it calls the first exhibition worldwide dedicated to the work of veteran US film-maker Martin Scorsese, who made his vast archive available for the show.

Scorcese, one of the 20th century’s most important filmmakers--and a fine film historian, to boot--apparently contributed much from his archive for the event. So...if any of you are going to be in Berlin before early May, you should definitely check this out! The show will begin a tour in some other cities, following this show.
