Inside the Uffizi

Inside the Uffizi (German: In den Uffizien) is a 2021 German documentary film about the Uffizi museum in Florence. It was directed by Corinna Belz and Enrique Sánchez Lansch.

The film covers the Uffizi, a museum in Florence with more than 500 rooms, based on the House of Medici's collection of paintings. Attention is given to the institution's staff, including Eike Schmidt, a German art historian who became its director in 2015.

Filming took place during a total of 50 days over a period of 2 years.

Inside the Uffizi was released in Germany on 25 November 2021.

Birgit Rieger of Der Tagesspiegel compared Inside the Uffizi to Gerhard Richter Painting, a film by Belz from 2011, and contrasted the distance with which the Uffizi personnel is portrayed to the intimacy of the previous film. Simon Hauck of Kino-Zeit said Inside the Uffizi contains joy and fascination, has the form of an "art-film essay" and in its best moments "also functions as a documentary meta-film about the desire to look at oneself in the shadow of history and turbo-technology since the turn of the millennium".

Inside the Uffizi was nominated for the German Film Award for Best Sound.
