World premiere of the first ever James Bond fan documentary raises 2.500 Euro for UNICEF aid operation in Syria.

After a 17 month filming period, the glamorous world premiere of the world’s first James
Bond fan documentary in support of UNICEF took place in Braunschweig, Germany, on 12
March 2016.

The 124 minute film of hobby-director Benjamin Lind, entitled "A Bond For Life – How James Bond changed my Life“, had been conceived as a charity project since the beginning of filming. With his work, Lind didn’t want to earn money but make a significant contribution to UNICEF aid operations. Together with the UNICEF work group Braunschweig and its directress Birgit-Gabriela Pordzik, Lind decided to donate the proceeds from ticket sales and additional donations to the UNICEF aid operation in Syria.

Joined on stage by Bond-expert and author Danny Morgenstern, Lind presented his film in
front of 88 guests in the C1 Cinema Braunschweig on 12 March 2016. He made clear, how
UNICEF provides help on the ground in Syria and how the donations will be used. Before the film screening, the auction of a magazine signed by the cast & crew of the latest Bond film "Spectre“ generated an additional 350,00 Euros within just two minutes. The net proceeds from ticket sales, which included a limited amount of VIP tickets for 25.00 Euros, amounted to a total of 1715.00 Euro.

VIP ticket holders had the pleasure to attend the exclusive After-Show-Party where they
enjoyed an extravagant buffet, complimentary drinks as well as a look Behind the Scenes of
the part autobiographical James Bond documentary. For a 2.00 Euro donation, director
Benjamin Lind signed specially designed postcards with the poster of his film. The UNICEF
donation box, of which guests made ample use, was always by his side and generated a total of 435.00 Euro. A second autograph auction brought in another 100.00 Euros. The
glamorous party lasted to the small hours.

After counting of the total proceeds from ticket sales and the donation box, the resulting
final sum of 2.500 Euros was personally forwarded to the UNICEF work group Braunschweig by director Benjamin Lind.

#ABondForLife

As the first of its kind, the non-commercial charity James Bond Fan-documentary “A
Bond For Life“ portrays the devoted fan-love of director Benjamin Lind that began
almost exactly twenty years ago. When he saw his first Bond film “GoldenEye“ in
cinema in 1996, it was love at first sight. From then on, the films accompanied him
through difficult and challenging years. When the sudden cancer death of his mother
turned his world upside down in 1997, it was the fictional novel- and screen hero
James Bond who gave him stability and a fantasy world to escape to. Being
increasingly confronted with the serious side of life, Lind saw himself tasked with the
challenge of balancing fantasy world and reality. With this combination, “A Bond For
Life“ is equally autobiography as well as journey through the exciting James Bond
fandom.

“A Bond For Life“ is dedicated to Barbara Broccoli & Michael G. Wilson, the

producers of the James Bond films. Since 1995, they both control the fate of the 

family business EON Productions Ltd. in London as well as that of the James Bond 

franchise, which has become the longest-running film series in the history of cinema

with a total of 24 films. 

UNICEF

Aside from the cinematic idea, another heartfelt wish became the focus for director
Benjamin Lind: the final film should benefit a charitable cause. Together with
UNICEF, the internationally operating United Nations Children's Fund whose line of ambassadors also include former James Bond actor Sir Roger Moore, Lind was now
able to realize this wish. “We, who live in rich economic nations and don ́t have to
give much thought to where our next meal is coming from, have so much and give so
little”, says Lind. “Millions of children die every year as a result of malnutrition. The
co-operation with UNICEF enables me to do my bit with my film project and support
vital aid operations.“

Otto is also among the special guest stars appearing in 'A Bond For Life'.


SYNOPSIS
The non-commercial Fan Documentary 'A Bond for Life' retraces the past 20 years in the life of a James Bond fan - from being exposed to Bond for the first time in 1996 until the world premiere of "SPECTRE" in 2015.

composer David Arnold, actresses Nikki van der Zyl, Luciana Paluzzi and Martine Beswick as well as Lyricist and Academy Award Winner Don Black, Production Designer and Academy Award Winner Sir Ken Adam and actors Mads Mikkelsen and Götz Otto share their experiences with James Bond.

Arabian vanhat astiat, yli satavuotiaat lattialankut, vanhat tuolit ja pöydät sekä lukuisat vanhat esineet on tuotu eri puolelta Suomea.
