Aasheen and Emmanuel’s wedding film: the reception at National Gallery of Victoria.
▶The film follows the whole day at National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, in the order it happened.
Reception: National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne VIC.
The NGV International is Roy Grounds’ bluestone gallery on St Kilda Road in Southbank, opened in August 1968 and reworked inside by Mario Bellini in 2003. The water wall at the front door, the moat and the Great Hall under Leonard French’s stained-glass ceiling are landmarks in their own right. The Great Hall is hired for large receptions, but for most couples the NGV is a portrait location: the forecourt, the water wall and the coloured light on the Great Hall floor.
Veri has filmed a wedding here. The building gives you texture the city’s lanes cannot: the bluestone, the running water and the long horizontal lines of the facade, and inside, the Great Hall’s ceiling throwing red, blue and gold across the floor.
