The CTBF Royal Film Performance is annually held in aid of the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund (CTBF), the charity for the UK film, cinema and commercial television industries, dedicated to providing support for those working behind-the-scenes in times of hardship. SPECTRE was the third Bond film chosen as a Royal Film Performance title since its inception in 1946.
Their Royal Highnesses were also invited to nominate two further charities to benefit from this year’s event – Shelterbox, for their work providing emergency response and resilience building in Nepal following the earthquake, and {chatty:Save the Children}, for their work with children and families fleeing the conflict situation in Syria and Iraq and as one of the leading organisations managing the Ebola crisis in West Africa.
Before the performance, Their Royal Highnesses met a selection of trustees and beneficiaries of the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund (CTBF), along with representatives from Save The Children and Shelterbox and also met members of the film’s cast and crew including Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz, Léa Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, David Bautista, Monica Bellucci, Andrew Scott and Ralph Fiennes. The cast were joined by director Sam Mendes and producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, vice patrons of the CTBF.
