The sumptuous Tribeca-selected documentary Ottolenghi and the Cakes of Versailles sees the renowned chef and author of books such as Jerusalem and Plenty turn his multi-talented eye to a new challenge: making cakes worthy of the Met. In the summer of 2018, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York enlisted Ottolenghi to lead a culinary gala inspired by the exhibit “Visitors to Versailles.” Assembling a veritable Avengers of the dessert world including Dominque Ansel and Dinara Kasko, Ottolenghi and his innovative team battle intense time pressure as they bring their decadent, Versailles-inspired dessert vision alive.

If there’s anyone we trust to make a movie about food, it's Laura Gabbert. Director of one of our favourite food documentaries of all time, City of Gold, which followed Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold on a culinary adventure around the streets of L.A., it’s a pleasure to see her focus her gaze on Ottolenghi as he journeys from London to Versailles and New York on his gastronomic crusade.

We’re excited to be reopening our doors to you, and have put a number of protocols in place to ensure your safety.

• Limited seats are available to each session to allow for social distancing. Our lovely staff will seat you at the beginning of your session so please be on time and ready to show your ticket on your phone or printed out (phone preferred) so that we can admit you without contact.
• Cinema doors will open 15 minutes before your advertised session time so that you can be seated and use that time to get comfortable, sanitised and make a trip to the bar if you’d like (our cocktails are very good!).
• There is now (at least) a 20-minute gap between sessions, so that our staff are able to do a deep clean of the cinema.
• Gift Passes can now be redeemed on all sessions excluding special events.
• Please get in touch via hello@ourgoldenage.com.au if you have any questions or issues.
