<p>After following Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett for more than six years, director Ceri Levy created <a href="http://www.bananazfilm.com/"><span style="color:#ffcc00;">&#8220;Bananaz&#8221;</span></a>, a reeling, free-for-all look at the full creative process that forms the entire world of Gorillaz. Following its festival premiere earlier this month at SxSW, the film will be the first ever global online premiere on April 20th on <span style="color:#ff6600;"><a href="http://www.babelgum.com"><span style="color:#ff6600;">Babelgum</span></a></span> before it goes into a more traditional release after that. </p>

<p>Although &#8220;Bananaz&#8221; only brought in some pretty <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/03/14/sxsw-review-bananaz/"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">luke-warm reviews</span></a> at SxSW, I&#8217;ve heard it&#8217;s worth watching just to watch Albarn run around acting artistic. Plus, I&#8217;m not the type to let reviews tell me if I should or shouldn&#8217;t see something. Art, like movie reviews, is totally arbitrary. I can&#8217;t wait to see it, and I love the frenzy of the trailer. This shit is bananaz&#8230;</p>
