Campari Cinema Center Marks TIFF 2026 With RE/PAIR Premiere and Cayman Film Panel
Campari Cinema Center brought film, hospitality, and industry conversations together during TIFF 2026 in Toronto. The program celebrated the world premiere of RE/PAIR at Cassius on King West. It also hosted a Cayman Islands Film Commission panel focused on film incentives and production locations.
RadicalMedia marked the TIFF premiere of RE/PAIR with an evening celebration at the newly renovated Cassius. Director Lacey Schwartz Delgado joined cast members, filmmakers, and industry guests for the gathering. Guests enjoyed Campari cocktails, Poppi sodas, food, and conversations throughout the evening. The Cayman Islands, Lavazza, Poppi, Rodeo FX, and Anderson College supported the event.
RE/PAIR Celebrates Its TIFF World Premiere
RE/PAIR explores conversations between Black and Jewish thinkers about history, community, identity, and disagreement. The documentary brings together 19 pairs for candid discussions about their experiences and shared challenges. RadicalMedia lists the film’s 2026 Toronto Film Festival appearance as its premiere. Schwartz Delgado directed the feature documentary.
Emily Jackson attended the premiere in a chocolate brown gown and joined Schwartz Delgado for photos. Gianmarco Soresi also posed with Jackson, Schwartz Delgado, and other cast and crew members. Inside, guests mingled while cast members wore RE/PAIR hats, pins, and T-shirts. The celebration extended the film’s focus on conversation beyond the screening room.
Cayman Islands Film Commission Talks Film Incentives
Earlier programming placed film production strategy at the centre of the Campari Cinema Center schedule. The Cayman Islands Film Commission joined a panel about location incentives and changing production decisions. Brittany Kelly, Lee Broda, and Steve Weintraub appeared alongside fellow panelists at the Collider Studio. The discussion examined how financial incentives can influence where filmmakers choose to shoot.
The Cayman Islands also joined the 2026 Cinema Center as a destination and film production partner. The program highlighted the territory’s locations, production support, and incentives for international projects. Collider Media Studio hosted daytime interviews and industry programming during the five-day Cinema Center run. Cassius then shifted into premiere parties, receptions, and private gatherings at night.
Campari Cinema Center Returns for TIFF 2026
Campari Cinema Center ran from September 11 to 15 at Cassius on King Street West. It returned as the program’s title and liquor sponsor for TIFF 2026. The venue brought filmmakers, actors, media, and industry guests together throughout the festival. RE/PAIR and the Cayman panel joined a wider week of film programming.
