Banksy, the world's most well-known unknown street artist, moved into movie production with last year's Oscar-nominated Exit Through The Gift Shop. This year he recently produced a very funny and entertaining British TV documentary called "The Antics Roadshow." While his movie was mostly about himself and other well-known street artists, his new hit TV film highlights some of the world's most famous and funny anarchic pranksters, trolls, imposters, "comic terrorists" and others whose humorous antics are not always well received, especially by the police! Featured within this one-hour documentary are French comic Remi Gaillard, celebrity pie throwing master Noel Godin, the very controversial Russian performance art collective VOINA and more. Be sure to see this documentary before it gets taken down:

China Rock & Roll Scene Video 2009
According to Wikipedia, Chinese Rock first started in Beijing in 1984 and mostly involved university students in small underground bars and hotels.
Since then Chinese rock has had its ups and downs and was severely hit hard by the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake. But now, finally, in 2009 the Chinese rock movement seems to be rolling along pretty well. The below video was released earlier this year in February by Tripfilms and it gives us a good view of the current emerging underground rock scene in China:

North Korean Karaoke - 'Anarchy in the DPRK'
In March 2008, Shane Smith and Eddy Moretti risked their lives and liberty and crossed over the Chinese-North Korean border and filmed a truly amazing documentary of their trip into 'The Hermit Kingdom' in The Vice Guide to North Korea:
"Getting into North Korea was one of the hardest and weirdest processes VBS has ever dealt with. After we went back and forth with their representatives for months, they finally said they were going to allow 16 journalists into the country to cover the Arirang Mass Games in Pyongyang. Then, ten days before we were supposed to go, they said, “No, nobody can come.” Then they said, “OK, OK, you can come. But only as tourists.” We had no idea what that was supposed to mean. They already knew we were journalists, and over there if you get caught being a journalist when you’re supposed to be a tourist you go to jail. We don’t like jail. And we’re willing to bet we’d hate jail in North Korea."
"But we went for it...."
And they certainly got it! Check out this quite surreal and somewhat humorous episode:
