With the night starting, I headed out to Nimas to finally see “Women are heroes” by JR. I only knew what I’ve seen from the trailer and some more from the TED talks, but nothing could prepare me for this. As we sit down, a member from the theater announces JR is not present, but that he would be by the end of the movie for a talk. At this point, I feared he would not be showing up, due to some occasion, but that happily did not happen. The movie starts…
It’s with great joy that I leave this announcement, as JR is coming to grace us with his movie “Women are heroes” and do a speech in Lisboa this Sunday. Inserted in the Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival, this is one not to miss if you’re a fan of streetart. JR has also won the TED prize awards earlier this year, so finally being able to see the movie in Lisboa is a delight. Info, trailer and poster inside, or for the fb event check here.
Finally in selected movie theaters, Banksy’s movie debuts today at UCI El Corte Inglés and UCI Arrábida. Check with the cinemas for sessions and tickets.
Since most of you may know, today is the day most americans will have the pleasure of watching one of most talked about movies in the art world this year. But as expected, Portugal is not looking for a brighter future in the waiting line of the countries that will host the movie. I mean, what’s the percentage of Portuguese people who know Banksy, and would thus make a good share of possible audience for the Portuguese cinema? On the other hand, if it was a Cristiano Ronaldo movie…
2:12 has recently shown up on this small teaser video of upcoming movie “Stick’em Up“. Great quality on the filming is becoming more and more of a standard in street art movies. Worth the watch.
Well, looks like Banksy has putted up a new cinema for people to see the movie before the 5th of March (official cinemas date in the UK), which is being called as the “London’s newest, darkest and dirtiest purpose built cinema”, and you can book tickets for the screening online.
UPDATE: sold out
By what it seems, Guardian has a new clip surfacing the web from the new “Exit Through the Gift Shop” Banksy movie.
Animal NewYork provided a Pre-Documentary Statement from Banksy:
“(…) please don’t give away the ending on Twitter!” Video inside…
