Banksy Does New York (premiering on Monday, showing on HBOGo now) is a documentary whose purpose is to show the hysteria that seemed to fill the streets of NYC during Banksy’s last visit to the “Big Apple.” The content of this documentary is promoted as coming from the people of New York themselves. Director Chris Moukarbel (in a fashion similar to what film director Kevin B. Lee did with last year’s Transformers: Premake) compiled video footage from various Internet channels (YouTube, Instagram, Vine, Twitter, etc.) uploaded by select Banksy “hunters” to showcase the scene found at all 31 days of Banksy’s NYC residency. It does not commit fully to its tagline of being a “user generated film”, but, even with some stumbles, it manages to provide at least some insight into the madness that was Better Out Than In.
