On September 12, Redbreast will present TIFF's prestigious In Conversation With... Andrew Scott at Toronto's Royal Alexandra Theatre, giving festival audiences an intimate look at Scott's creative journey, craft and career across stage and screen. Renowned for his compelling performances across film, television and stage, Scott shares Redbreast's passion for authentic storytelling and creative craftsmanship, helping bring audiences closer to some of the industry's most influential voices.
Rooted in Redbreast's belief that the most rewarding discoveries are often hidden in plain sight, Redbreast Unhidden is the brand's global platform supporting hidden gems in film and the creative voices behind it. Inspired by the craftsmanship, authenticity and character found in every bottle of Redbreast, the platform champions films, filmmakers and experiences waiting to be discovered.
At TIFF, that mission comes to life through the return of Unhidden Gems, Redbreast's curated collection of must-see festival films. The selection encourages audiences to venture beyond the most anticipated premieres and discover standout stories they might otherwise miss.
"At Redbreast, we've always believed that the best discoveries are worth seeking out," said Maura Cowan, Vice-President of Marketing, Corby Spirit and Wine Limited. "After an incredible first year at TIFF, we're proud to return with an even stronger presence through Redbreast Unhidden. From celebrating this year's Unhidden Gems and supporting TIFF's In Conversation With series alongside Andrew Scott, to welcoming guests back to our Redbreast Red Carpet Suite, we're excited to continue championing the stories, creators and moments of discovery that make TIFF such a special cultural event."
Redbreast will also return to the Festival with its Redbreast Red Carpet Suite, welcoming festival guests for curated cocktails and premium whiskey tastings inspired by the art of storytelling, as well as supporting TIFF's Opening Night Party.
The Toronto activation builds on the momentum of Redbreast Unhidden, that has gained international recognition through collaborations with leading film festivals, including SXSW.
Unhidden sits within Redbreast's global Quite the Find campaign, which celebrates the thrill of seeking out and discovering something exceptional - whether that's an extraordinary whiskey, an unexpected film or a creative voice waiting to be found.
The 2026 Toronto International Film Festival runs from September 10 to September 20, 2026.
