  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Filmtipp Banksy - Exit Through The Gift Shop Regie Banksy Darsteller/innen Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Thierry Guetta, Space Invader, Joshua Levine Land, Jahr USA, Großbritannien 2010 Länge, Format 87 Minuten FSK ab 6 Jahre Sprachfassung Deutsch Festivals, Preise Internationale Filmfestspiele Berlin 2010 (außer Konkurrenz), Sundance Festival Kinostart, Verleih 21.10.2010, Alamode Filmdistribution Genre Dokumentation Inhalt Der Street-Art-Künstler Banksy ist ein Phantom. Obwohl seine Werke auf zahlreichen Fassaden dieser Welt zu finden sind, ist seine Identität nur wenigen Menschen bekannt. Als der französische Filmemacher Thierry Guetta zufällig in die Street-Art-Szene hinein kommt und wie besessen alles mit seiner Videokamera festhält, ist es nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis er von dem berüchtigten Banksy hört. Er setzt sich das Ziel, auch diesen Künstler zu filmen. Dank guter Kontakte lernt Guetta Banksy tatsächlich kennen und bekommt die Erlaubnis, ihn bei seiner Arbeit zu filmen. Doch der fertige Film ist eine Katastrophe, so dass Banksy kurzerhand beschließt, den Spieß umzudrehen und einen Film über Guetta zu machen, der sich seitdem als Street-Art-Künstler betätigt. Fortan nennt sich der weder als Street-Art-Künstler noch als Filmemacher talentierte Guetta "Mr. Brainwash". Er plant eine Ausstellung, die in die Geschichte eingehen soll. Umsetzung "Banksy – Exit Through The Gift Shop" ist eine ungewöhnliche Dokumentation. Der Film des Provokateurs Banksy hat viel von einer "Mockumentary" (mock = vortäuschen, sich lustig machen), eines fiktionalen Dokumentarfilms, der sowohl das Genre als auch sein Thema aufs Korn nimmt. So kann sich der Zuschauer auch in diesem Film an kaum einer Stelle sicher sein, welche Elemente der Realität entsprechen, welche lediglich lose mit ihr verknüpft und welche vollständig erfunden sind.

  • Ben Salisbury
    Craft / Geoff Barrow of Portishead with Ben Salisbury quite dry, quite traditional. I was expecting it might be like ‘The Kids from Fame’. But they weren’t, the vast majority of students wanted to be music teachers! The benefit was there was a brand new recording studio at Newcastle University, and there was only me and one other guy who were interested in using it, so we had the run of it. It was absolutely state-of-the- art, when samplers and digital stuff were just taking off. So that was really my introduction into composing. Music for Film and TV at Bournemouth in the early ’90s was a brilliant course, in that you had your own workstation. You were sat down, you had deadlines, and it was quite pressurised, so was actually quite similar to life as a commercial composer. Weirdly, that was probably exactly the same time Geoff [Barrow] was using samplers to make Portishead’s Dummy. What was your first real break? I came out of Bournemouth with a credit to my name, because I did music for a short film that went on to win an award, and was broadcast on Channel Four. It was directed by a guy called Ben Salisbury Miguel Sapochnik who I’ve worked with since on other short films. Now he directs episodes of DAVE ROBINSON meets the nature documentary composer Game of Thrones! One person, that’s all it took: one director who has his (laser) sights on sci-fi chose a bit of music I’d done for that film as temp music for his film about elephants and en Salisbury is a name you can expect Your father worked at the BBC Natural said, “Look, you’re very inexperienced, but to see more and more of on your History Unit: that must have been useful to we’ve got this music in there.

  • Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. Defrantz from Bronx's Hip-Hop To
    Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. DeFrantz From Bronx’s Hip-Hop to Bristol’s Trip-Hop As Tricia Rose describes, the birth of hip-hop occurred in Bronx, a marginalized city, characterized by poverty and congestion, serving as a backdrop for an art form that flourished into an international phenomenon. The city inhabited a black culture suffering from post-war economic effects and was cordoned off from other regions of New York City due to modifications in the highway system, making the people victims of “urban renewal.” (30) Given the opportunity to form new identities in the realm of hip-hop and share their personal accounts and ideologies, similar to traditions in African oral history, these people conceived a movement whose worldwide appeal impacted major events such as the Million Man March. Hip-hop’s enormous influence on the world is undeniable. In the isolated city of Bristol located in England arose a style of music dubbed trip-hop. The origins of trip-hop clearly trace to hip-hop, probably explaining why artists categorized in this genre vehemently oppose to calling their music trip-hop. They argue their music is hip-hop, or perhaps a fresh and original offshoot of hip-hop. Mushroom, a member of the trip-hop band Massive Attack, said, "We called it lover's hip hop. Forget all that trip hop bullshit. There's no difference between what Puffy or Mary J Blige or Common Sense is doing now and what we were doing…” (Bristol Underground Website) Trip-hop can abstractly be defined as music employing hip-hop, soul, dub grooves, jazz samples, and break beat rhythms.

  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP FILMMAKER BIOGRAPHIES BANKSY (Director) Hailing from Bristol, England, Banksyʼs idiosyncratic brand of street art developed after his efforts at producing more conventional New York-style graffiti apparently proved a failure. Turning to stencils, he developed a voice that was both provocative and unique, and set about decorating city centre locations with life size iconography and wry humor. Notable targets have included the separation barrier in Palestine, New Orleans levee wall and the penguin enclosure at London Zoo. Largely avoiding traditional art galleries Banksy has instead favored disused warehouses and abandoned shop fronts for art shows, displaying work in London, Los Angeles, New York and Bethlehem. He has produced his own range of forged currency, pseudo-ancient artifacts and guilt-framed classical ʻmasterpiecesʼ, which are then surreptitiously added to the collections of venerable institutions such as the Louvre and the British Museum. His street pieces, which have come to include sculpture and installations, are now often removed and sold at auction, but have also on occasion been granted preservation status by the very city councils once so vehement about their removal. “Itʼs easier to get forgiveness than permission” he commented. JAIMIE DʼCRUZ (Producer) Jaimie is a producer and director with a background in music journalism. He has a wide range of British television credits including writing and directing polemics about contemporary cultural issues, producing and presenting a late night TV talk

  • Adventures in Film Music Redux Composer Profiles
    Adventures in Film Music Redux - Composer Profiles ADVENTURES IN FILM MUSIC REDUX COMPOSER PROFILES A. R. RAHMAN Elizabeth: The Golden Age A.R. Rahman, in full Allah Rakha Rahman, original name A.S. Dileep Kumar, (born January 6, 1966, Madras [now Chennai], India), Indian composer whose extensive body of work for film and stage earned him the nickname “the Mozart of Madras.” Rahman continued his work for the screen, scoring films for Bollywood and, increasingly, Hollywood. He contributed a song to the soundtrack of Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) and co- wrote the score for Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). However, his true breakthrough to Western audiences came with Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches saga Slumdog Millionaire (2008). Rahman’s score, which captured the frenzied pace of life in Mumbai’s underclass, dominated the awards circuit in 2009. He collected a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for best music as well as a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best score. He also won the Academy Award for best song for “Jai Ho,” a Latin-infused dance track that accompanied the film’s closing Bollywood-style dance number. Rahman’s streak continued at the Grammy Awards in 2010, where he collected the prize for best soundtrack and “Jai Ho” was again honoured as best song appearing on a soundtrack. Rahman’s later notable scores included those for the films 127 Hours (2010)—for which he received another Academy Award nomination—and the Hindi-language movies Rockstar (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Highway (2014), and Beyond the Clouds (2017).
