The Pitch (2017)

루브르와 대영박물관에 자신의 작품을 게릴라 전시, 이스라엘이 쌓은 거대한 장벽에 평화의 염원을 담은 벽화를 그리는 등 저항적인 작품 활동을 펼치는 세계적인 그래피티 아티스트 뱅크시. 자신의 신분을 철저히 숨기는 것으로 유명한 그가 거리미술 다큐 감독을 꿈꾸는 괴짜 티에리의 카메라에 포착된다. 위험하지만 짜릿한 쾌감이 있는 거리미술 세계에 매혹된 티에리는 그의 일련의 작업 과정을 집요하게 따라다닌다. 작가의 의도와는 상관없이 상품화 되어가는 미술계의 세태를 지켜보던 뱅크시의 제안으로, 티에리는 거리미술의 본질을 보여줄 다큐멘터리 편집에 돌입하는데...

Adrift in the lush, nocturnal urban landscape of THE GRAFFITI ARTIST, Nick (Ruben Bansie-Snellman) is a post-modern urban hero asserting his anarchistic agenda on the endless maze of virgin exterior walls that comprise downtown Seattle and Portland. For this iconoclastic young visionary, the vast wall surfaces of deserted alleys and train yards are at once a daunting symbol of capitalist oppression and a texturally rich, seamless tableau ripe for exploitation to amplify his artistic dialectic of anger and rebellion.

낙서주의 화가로 일컬어지는 바스키아의 불꽃 같은 생애를 담았다. 27살로 마감한 그의 생애를 담은 이는 신표현주의를 대표하는 화가 줄리앙 슈나벨 감독. 슈나벨의 데뷔작이다. 영화 곳곳에는 슈나벨 감독의 애정이 진하게 배어 있다. 영화를 보는 것이라기보다는 한장한장의 회화를 이어가는 듯한 착각을 일으킬 정도다.피카소의 [게르니카]를 응시한 채 어머니의 손을 부여잡은 한 소년을 보여주며 영화는 시작된다. 피카소의 작품을 보며 눈물을 흘리던 소년은 어느새 성인이 되어 뉴욕의 거리에서 벽에 그림을 그리며 화가를 꿈꾸는 청년으로 바뀐다. 마약을 대가로 그려준 그림 한장이 미술평론가 르네 리카드의 눈에 들면서 바스키아는 스타 화가로의 길을 다져나간다. 그러나 스타가 된 그의 곁에는 당대 최고의 화가이자 아방가르드였던 앤디 워홀만이 쓸쓸히 자리를 지켜 줄 뿐이다. 그마저 세상을 떠나자 마약에 묻혀 살다가 마침내 생을 마감한다.앤디 워홀 역을 영국의 명뮤지션 데이비드 보위가 맡았다는 사실은 또 하나의 흥밋거리.

Dr Richard Clay goes in search of what it is that has made us scribble and scratch mementoes of our lives for more than 30,000 years.

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?

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.

Impelled by a spirit which still preserves a patina of idealism, Alfredo arrives to Madrid with the intention to create "a performance that is free, straight from the heart, capable of making people feel alive". His concept of what acting should be begins beyond the stage, out in the streets face to face with the public. Outdoors, in any town square, in a park or in the city's most commercial street, Alfredo and his troupe November start the show; demons to provoke passers-by, displays of social conscience, actions taken to the extreme to put the forces of law and order on full alert. There are no limits, no censorship; only ideas which are always valid so long as the public ceases to be the public and becomes part of the show swept by surprise, fear, tears or laughter. Theater as life, life as theater… there is no longer any difference.
