Co-directed by Ali Ray and Phil Grabsky, new documentary My National Gallery, London gives voice to those whose lives have been touched by the Gallery – beloved celebrities, devoted staff members, every day visitors and world class experts come together to paint a unique portrait of this iconic British institution for its 200th birthday!

From the award-winning film company and unique arts brand Exhibition on Screen (Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition), My National Gallery, London offers the likes of Claudia Winkleman, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, Jacqueline Wilson and HRH Princess Eugenie into their personal connection with the National Gallery, with each identifying the one artwork which means the most to them, with this diverse cross section of society making surprising choices of both well-known masterpieces and hidden gems – and today we’ve got a special clip with Sir Palin!

Discover the source of the famous “Python foot”, the artwork described as Turner’s “science fiction” painting and the work that became a conversation starter in shopping centres and prisons – the film explores how the power of great art lies in its ability to communicate with anyone, no matter their art historical knowledge, their background or their beliefs.

My National Gallery, London comes to cinemas on 4th June
