National Gallery

National Gallery is an immersive meditation on the act of seeing, as Frederick Wiseman points his camera at another cultural institution: London’s National Gallery.

In his distinctive style, the film is a carefully observed portrait of the gallery’s working life from top to bottom. Going behind the scenes and with open access, Wiseman follows the restorers, curators, executives and visitors to take us to the heart of the museum.

Playing as part of our Frederick Wiseman season. See the full lineup here.
