Rheima Robinson

With over a decade of experience in the arts and event management sector, I am a dedicated and innovative professional passionate about leveraging culture and creativity to drive community engagement and social impact. My career journey has taken me through prestigious organizations such as the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), the British Film Institute (BFI), and the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), where I have honed my skills in event planning, talent management, and strategic partnership development

I have over a decade of experience in event planning, talent management, and community engagement within prestigious cultural institutions. At the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), I led a diverse range of events, managing all logistics and maximizing revenue through strategic upselling. At the British Film Institute (BFI), I delivered both digital and in-person events, coordinating with high-profile talent and managing event budgets. My role at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) involved managing a flagship venue, liaising with film stakeholders, and providing support for screenings. As the Founding Creative Director of The Sunday Practise, I created a successful brand identity and produced various live cultural events, fostering partnerships and audience engagement. My work demonstrates a strong ability to drive community impact through arts and culture.
