HBO to air new Banksy documentary
‘Banksy Does New York’
HBO announce Banksy documentary exploring the "Banksy frenzy" in New York City last year
Last year New York went crazy for the world's most famous graffiti artist The Oscar-nominated Brit claimed residence in the big apple and decorated its streets with a new piece of art every single day. It became a cultural phenomenon. Some locals stole art, other defaced it and some locations even charged to view it. Banksy himself released a short film about the experience, and now HBO have announced a film of its own – a documentary titled 'Banksy Does New York', which will air November 17.
Sheila Nevens, president of HBO documentaries said: "From the moment Banksy took over the streets, New Yorkers became obsessed. The film captures this month of madness created by user-generated footage."
