The North American Premiere will be at SXSW 2008. Here's the synopsis from the website. Unfortunately, there's no trailer, but the doc sounds great.
Synopsis:
BANANAZ takes you behind the scenes on one of the great creative partnerships of our time. For the first time the virtual walls 'OF GORILLAZ' come down and the audience sees the true brain child of Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn; the work that went into the drawings, the animation, the music and the voices. As one radio interviewer puts it, "It's a parallel universe - these guys aren't in the band but they know the animated characters who are". Friend and film maker Ceri Levy decided to document the process and started following these two unlikely pioneers, over a six year period, with his camera.Bananaz is the funny, riotous and compelling film which gives a never seen before account of the working relationship of Albarn and Hewlett.An inspiring, unsanitised, free-wheeling comment on what can be done when creative minds meet in the spirit of collaboration from Ibrahim Ferrer to Dennis Hopper...
I can't believe there isn't a distributor, yet.
