Thank you for your interest in filming in the National Gallery.

In order for us to decide if we are able to facilitate your filming project and what its cost will be, we need you to answer as fully as possible a series of logistical questions about your requirements – please find these on the form below.

There are certain restrictions on filming in the National Gallery, so when filling out the form please bear in mind the following points.

-	Filming is only permitted within the National Gallery building outside of opening hours, Monday to Friday - therefore before 10am or after 6pm, except on a Friday when there is late opening until 9pm

-	Any filming after 10pm will incur extra charges

-	The Press Office does not facilitate filming from the National Gallery roof or in the National Café, National Dining Rooms or any of the National Gallery shops. To film in any of these areas please contact Daragh Kenny on 0207 747 5996 / daragh.kenny@nationalgallery.co.uk

-	We are unable to guarantee that the painting you wish to film is currently within the National Gallery

-	We are unable to guarantee that you will be able to film any paintings which are on loan to the National Gallery. If you do wish to film loan works then this request must be made as soon as possible, as lenders will need to be contacted for permission.

-	No National Gallery paintings may be moved or touched during filming - or moved or touched to accommodate filming

-	All electrical equipment being brought in to the National Gallery will require a PAT test

-	Wherever possible the National Gallery will aim to provide a parking space, but this cannot be guaranteed 

-	You will be required to sign a copy of the National Gallery filming contract before your arrival at the National Gallery to undertake any filming

Please note that we require this form, completed in full, to be returned to us no less that 10 days before you wish the filming to take place. If you return the form less than 10 days before your proposed filming date, then it is unlikely that we will be able to facilitate your filming.

We are also unable to give you an accurate cost for your filming until this form has been completed in full. Also, additional filming requested later will be subject to a separate charge.
