Overview

Part of the 

strand.

Screening as part of Sacred Bonds. Join us every morning of the Festival as we celebrate the remarkable original six James Bond films starring Sean Connery in his most famous role as the suave secret agent. Featuring daring stunts, elaborate set pieces and iconic theme songs, these quintessential Bond films are presented in new restorations and introduced by members of the Connery family and special guests.

Diamonds are Forever finds Bond in full revenge mode, intent on hunting down his arch nemesis Blofeld once and for all. But tracking Blofeld down will not be simple and will take Bond on another dazzling globe-trotting journey, taking in an extravagant chase in the Californian desert, cruel encounters with deadly assassins, and a final seabound showdown to rival anything in the franchise for scale and thrills.

– Paul Ridd

 

Diamonds Are Forever will begin with an introduction from Jason Connery and Douglas Mackinnon.
