Banksy’s high anticipated film “Exit Through The Gift Shop” will be available next week (September 6th) on both DVD and Blu-ray. The DVD will feature deleted scenes, two new short films and comes packaged with exclusive 2D glasses, stickers and artwork. From the back cover: “Featuring exclusive footage of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Invader and many more of the world’s most infamous graffiti artists at work, Exit Through The Gift Shop is the hilarious true story of low-level criminality, companionship and incompetence. The story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.” You can pre-order now through Amazon UK.
