Since Banksy emerged as a street artist in the early 2000s, one of the most intriguing aspects of the Bristol-based painter has been his identity. Over the years, various people have been linked to the moniker, among them Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett, a comic book illustrator who also co-created Tank Girl, and Massive Attack co-founder Robert Del Naja, based on the fact that both hail from Bristol and Del Naja also dabbled in graffiti.  Now, an unearthed BBC recording from 2003 appears to confirm that Banksy…

The term cultural cringe makes an early appearance in Tomiwa Owolade’s This Is Not America. Coined by the Australian critic AA Phillips to express the fawning relationship of some of his fellow citizens to traditional British culture, Owolade believes it applies to the attitudes of many contemporary Britons towards the US. America is often accepted as the primary shaper of truths. Its landscapes, myths and histories can seem closer to us than our own.

He stoically endures their enthusiasm while confiding under his breath that he is actually terrified of dogs. It seems an apt introduction to a director who spent more than a decade in the shadows, painstakingly teaching himself how to direct short films, before two of them burst into the sunlight with wins at the Cannes film festival.It was immediately clear that he was something special.
