As the autumn breeze welcomes the dazzling array of stars to the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this year, the Cinema Center, organized by Roxstar Entertainment, remains the epicentre of festivity and glam. TIFF is not just a showcase of global cinematic prowess but also a grand congregation for glittering after-parties, insightful press junkets, and riveting interviews, much of which unfold at Cinema Center.
Stellar Lineup and Exclusive Parties
Kicking off with the opening weekend, Cinema Center has become the coveted hub for after-show events and exclusive gatherings. Spaces around Toronto, including the stylish MARBL on King Street West, spring to life with the notable presence of celebrities from around the globe. The roster this year is nothing short of star-studded. Attendees can look forward to rubbing shoulders with icons such as Henry Golding, Beatrice Grannò, Adam Driver, Cobie Smulders, and directors like Francis Ford Coppola amongst others.
Cinema Center’s collaborations with brands such as Range Rover Sport, poppi soda, Don Julio Tequila, and the new premium spring water brand, Legend, ensure that guests enjoy a luxurious experience as they indulge in bespoke product offerings and brand experiences. The poppi soda’s unique flavours like Strawberry Lemon and Orange Cola have become a crowd favourite, aligning with their health-conscious ethos embraced by an impressive celebrity cadre including Hailey Bieber and Billie Eilish.
Interviews and Media Engagements
The Cinema Center also plays host to the Collider Media Studio, facilitating interviews and creating exclusive content that reaches millions globally. This initiative brings film aficionados closer to their favourite celebrities and creators, serving insights and entertainment buzz directly from the heart of TIFF.
Luxury and Mobility by Range Rover
Ensuring a seamless experience, Range Rover Sport steps in as the official luxury vehicle partner, ferrying celebrities and VIPs in style and comfort. The blend of sportiness and sophistication in their latest models provides the perfect transit solution for the bustling streets of Toronto during TIFF.
Culinary Delights at Estiatorio Milos
Adding to the cinematic flavour, Cinema Center has partnered with Estiatorio Milos to host evening premiere parties in an elevated hospitality experience. Slated to officially open later in September, TIFF attendees get an exclusive preview of its delights during VIP gala events and premiere parties. The well-curated menu and top-tier mixology, featuring Tequila Don Julio, elevate every gathering, making each night memorable.

David Manning, the Managing Director at Roxstar Entertainment, shared his enthusiasm about the impact of these collaborations. “TIFF is a festivity of culture and cinema, and at Cinema Center, we aim to amplify this experience by blending luxury with convenience, ensuring every guest leaves with special memories,” said Manning.
Cinema Center continues to redefine TIFF’s nocturnal landscape, ensuring every film premiere transitions seamlessly into an enchanting night of celebration. As TIFF unfolds, Cinema Center remains the beacon where stars align, and cinematic dreams illuminate the festive nights of Toronto.
