The festival organisers, along with Dubai Cares and Oxfam will hold the 'One Night to Change Lives' night on December 11, alongside the 10th edition of DIFF.
Proceeds from the exclusive gala evening will be distributed by Dubai Cares and their global partner Oxfam in war-ridden Syria. Money raised will go towards providing the children and their families in Lebanon and Jordan, who live in informal tented communities, with basic supplies like shelter, food, water, sanitation during the winter months and education.
The gala will feature an auction of 007 items, given by Eon Productions and their James Bond films'.
