British fans get first glimpse of Banksy film Fans of the controversial street artist will no doubt have been clamouring to get their hands on a set of tickets for the first UK screening of Banksy’s film.

Tickets for Exit Through The Gift Shop sold out within minutes on February 23rd, for the nine-day run of special showings taking place in London ahead of its nationwide release on March 5th.

In true Banksy style, the cinema hosting the movie is a makeshift auditorium housed in a tunnel under the Waterloo train tracks called the Lambeth Palace.

There will no doubt be plenty of fans wearing Banksy T-shirts at the venue over the coming week.

As well as seeing the film ahead of everyone else, anyone who has managed to get hold of some tickets should probably get there a little early to have a look round the foyer, which displays a host of Banksy art.

The artist said that he’d arranged the screenings for “normal people” so that they can watch the film “before the celebrities get stains all over the furniture”.

Exit Through the Gift Shop had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in the US and was also shown at the Berlinale last week.
