Event Details


Raise a glass to the 2024 Russell Hobbs British Film Festival and say "CHEERS!" with an exclusive preview event of Widow Clicquot, the inspiring true story of the "Grande Dame of Champagne."

Receive a complimentary glass of sparkling on arrival, or UPGRADE your ticket for a taste of the real thing, a glass of Veuve Clicquot! You'll also receive a copy of the programme, and be the first to see previews of this year's major highlights before the Australian premiere screening commences.

Following Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin (1777–1866) who, at the age of 20, became Madame Clicquot after marrying poetic, unconventional François, the heir of a winemaking family. Named Veuve (the French word for widow) at age 27, she is determined to protect her family’s legacy and boldly challenge the men — as well as the state — set on stripping her of her vineyards.

Determined to advance her husband's theories about soil chemistry, the configuring of vines, and revolutionary techniques in bottling, Barbe-Nicole wagers on the next harvest and her own blend of sparkling wine. Challenged by the irregularity of the seasons, the aggressive competitor Monsieur Moët, and the Napoleonic Code of 1804 barring women from running businesses, the elegant and luminous widow must succeed or lose everything.

Telling the tale in retrospect and reflection over a 10-year span from approximately 1797 to 1807, director Thomas Napper entwines a sparkling story of flourishing female entrepreneurship with an account of doomed lovers whose legacy reverberates in the bubbles. A rousing toast to the perseverance of unshakeable women.
