Catfish - A very interesting documentary for sure. Some unexpected turns. It was really incredible to see an internet relationship between a New York City photographer and a family in small town Michigan unfold. The way these guys filmed and edited together the documentary was really remarkable and inspiring for my own documentary ideas. Overall, a great watch. I would recommend it to everyone. SEE THIS DOCUMENTARY!
Exit Through the Gift Shop - I've been a huge Banksy fan for a long long time. For those of you who don't know him, he's a street artist that has done some really interesting work with some great social commentary. My favorite of his work was done on the wall in Palestine. You should check it out (http://arts.guardian.co.uk/pictures/0,,1543331,00.html). So, anyway, this documentary was directed by Banksy. It's kind of about him, and street art, but really its about a French guy living in Los Angeles who carries his video camera around all the time and films EVERYTHING. This guy visits his cousin in France, who happens to be a well known street artist. He begins following his cousin around filming him putting up his art. Then, his cousin introduces him to other street artists who introduce him to others, eventually leading to Banksy, and a really interesting commentary on "Art". It's really great. Also, would recommend this for anyone!
All in all it was a GREAT documentary weekend spent with my wife.
