Leading UK distributor Revolver gives subversive British artist’s first foray into filmmaking a nationwide theatrical canvas

 

LONDON. The UK’s most innovative film distributor Revolver Entertainment is to release celebrated British graffiti artist Banksy’s first feature film Exit Through the Gift Shop, on March 5.

 

“Banksy is an iconic figure in contemporary British culture.  It’s an honour to be involved in such an exciting and uncompromising project,” says Revolver’s CEO Justin Marciano. 

 

Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the Palestinian segregation wall in the West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. The film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shephard Fairey, Invader and many of the world’s most infamous graffiti artists at work, on walls and in interview.

 

Revolver Entertainment, one of the leading independents, is a multi-award winning, marketing-led, all rights film distributor that continues to shake up the industry with a unique, innovative approach to managing releases. Founded in 1997, the company has operations in both London and Los Angeles.
