Proceeds will be used to bring the best and newest films from France this upcoming June. *Tickets, including film, champagne & cake are only $20! * [image: La Conquete: nicolas & cecilia]* * *THE FILM* In this 2012 Presidential Election year, both in France and in the U.S., the controversial LA CONQUÊTE –the first French film about a President still in office- offers a cynical and humorous view of the international governing class and its behind-the-scenes Machiavellian chess games. When Sarkozy was elected President of France in May 2007, it was a dream come true for this ambitious man who had made many enemies –including in his own party– on his way to the top. But the dream had its dark side: as Sarkozy reached the political top, his highly publicized second marriage was secretly unraveling… The hilarious LA CONQUÊTE follows Nicolas Sarkozy’s rise to power, leading up to his victory in the 2007 elections. The talented Denis Podalydès delivers a witty, yet commanding portrayal of Sarkozy, supported by an all-star cast portraying major French political figures, including former French President Jacques Chirac. Director Xavier Durringer never veers too far from reality, even while deploying fictional embellishments and a larger-than-life sense of humor. *Watch trailer here<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUcSWqiMnGc> .* *THE CHAMPAGNE* [image: Gruet Winery] <http://gruetwinery.com/> “There is this winery...” That is in the middle of the desert. That is near vineyards first planted in 1629. That is at an altitude of 4200 feet. That makes one of the driest Sparkling Wines in the country. That makes one of the brightest Sparkling Wines in the country. That is owned and operated by a French Champagne family, that has been here in the US for over 25 years... Give Up? *GRUET WINERY* <http://gruetwinery.com/> - Albuquerque, New Mexico. Taste our Story for Yourself!
