MY NATIONAL GALLERY, LONDON
Special Features: One week only!
The National Gallery of London is one of the world's greatest art galleries. It is full of masterpieces and provides an endless source of history and stories. But whose stories are told? Which art has the most impact and on whom? The power of great art lies in its ability to communicate with anyone, no matter their background, beliefs or art-historical knowledge. This film gives voice to those whose lives have been touched by the Gallery — from security guards to directors, everyday visitors to celebrities and members of the royal family. Claudia Winkleman, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Jacqueline Wilson and HRH Princess Eugenie all let us in to their deeply personal connection with the National Gallery. Each interviewee identifies the one artwork that means the most to them, with this diverse cross-section of society making surprising choices of both well-known masterpieces and hidden gems. These stories are used as a lens through which to explore the 200-year history of the National Gallery and what the future may hold for this spectacular space. DIR/PROD Phil Grabsky; DIR Ali Ray.
