GREY GOOSE® Celebrates the Stars of Septembers of Shiraz at the Toronto International Film Festival

September 15, 2015 (TORONTO, ON) – Tonight, French luxury brand GREY GOOSE®, the world’s leading super premium vodka, celebrated the world premiere of Septembers of Shiraz at the Toronto International Film Festival with stars Salma Hayek, Adrien Brody, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Alon Aboutboul, producer Gerard Butler and director Wayne Blair. The private pre-screening dinner and post-screening party took place at the upscale bar and restaurant Byblos to honour those who share a passion to achieve the extraordinary within the film industry.

Guests toasted the evening with the signature, celebratory GREY GOOSE Le Fizz cocktail which has become a staple at film industry parties. As well, a selection of custom GREY GOOSE cocktails inspired by this year’s film selection were served including the Opening Scene, Au Cinema and Leading Lady.

GREY GOOSE has celebrated visionaries in film for over eight years through its continued support of the film industry and international film awards and festivals. Both the film industry and GREY GOOSE share the same daring spirit to defy expectations to achieve the extraordinary.

* The Septembers of Shiraz premiere night opened with an intimate pre-screening dinner with key cast members Salma Hayek, Adrien Brody, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Alon Aboutboul, director Wayne Blair and producers Gerard Butler, Monika Bacardi and Andrea Iervolino. Guests were served a GREY GOOSE Le Fizz cocktail upon arrival and treated to an extraordinary multi-course feast of chargrilled Cornish hen, local Roma salad, basmati rice and more.
