The Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) on Tuesday announced that Oscar winning actor Colin Firth and his fashion entrepreneur wife Livia will attend the event this year to support the annual 'One Night to Change Lives' charity.
The couple who are Global Ambassadors for Oxfam, will be joined by actresses Kristin Davis and Rooney Mara at the black-tie charity evening on December 14 at the Armani Hotel in Dubai.
Amr Waked and Ali Mostafa will also attend the exclusive gala dinner and auction which will raise funds for the UAE-based Dubai Cares and Oxfam.
This will be the second year that Colin Firth has attended DIFF, following his visit to promote the multi-award winning film, The King's Speech in 2010.
Oxfam has worked with Dubai Cares since 2008 to improve access and quality education for nearly 63,000 school children in some of the world's poorest countries including Mali, Niger, and Pakistan.
Oxfam's Global Ambassadors include A-list actors Colin Firth, Scarlett Johansson, Minnie Driver, Gael Garcia Bernal, Djimon Hounsou, Kristin Davis, Rahul Bose; musicians Coldplay and Annie Lennox; Helena Christensen and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu.
A number of Oxfam ambassadors are expected to attend the December event.
