Whether Banksy is a woman or a man, this writer doesn't seem to have a clue: Wtf? Has he looked at any street art, or is he mistaking a gang sign on an overpass as street art? Other passages also seem to conflate tagging with street murals. It's hard to give any theories credit when the source seems like it isn't credible. UNRELATED BIT: Are you still in OK?

look at you shilling that film like a pro. You missed your calling as a promoter.
Street art is probably/maybe the most progressive form of art, inre: gender, inclusivity, all sorts of things. Yeah. -- Damn! I won't be in June. Does somewhere list all its screenings in advance? I bet I can catch it in Austin. PS: unforeseen difficulties in procuring the various volumes of Gulag Archipelago. Will mail soon, potentially just the first volume because it's 700 pages which is enough to be getting on with I think.
There was a long and disappointing saga of this movie not getting accepted to SXSW this year, as it looked like a good candidate then was rejected at the 11th hour. I don't know what the further prospects are for a later screening in Austin. For now, there are only a few festivals lined up, with supposedly more in the pipeline. I can only hope that not getting into SXSW didn't cost us boku bucks.
