and entertaining.

A journey into the rarified world of international fine wine auctions. With pockets full of cash, charisma and a preternatural memory for vintages, an unassuming young Rudy Kurniawan earns the reputation of a wine savant, surrounding himself with some of high society’s most fervent wine connoisseurs. But when Bill Koch, a top US collector, and Laurent Ponsot, a Burgundian wine producer, discover suspicious bottles, a humorous and suspenseful investigation begins into one of the most ingenious cons of
our time.

rtist and filmmaker
Artist and filmmaker Philippe Mora is producing a graphic novel about his late father, Georges, widely known in Melbourne as a beloved art patron and restaurateur. Less known, however, is Georges’ astonishing history as part
of the French resistance during World War II, and how he and his friend Marcel Marceau saved thousands of Jewish lives with a fiendishly simple trick involving baguettes and mayonnaise. Director Trevor Graham follows Philippe as he traces his dad’s journey, through visits, and meals, with those who knew and helped Georges from his childhood to meeting his wife, acclaimed artist Mirka Mora, and the family’s dramatic survival during the Holocaust.
