TUFF: Watch and Vote September 11-20

This year’s Toronto Urban Film Festival (TUFF) runs from September 11 – 20. Broadcast daily, these 1 minute silent shorts play on a network of 270 TTC subway platform screens across the city. This year, centrally located on the north and southbound platforms of the Bloor subway station, there will be 4 screens dedicated to TUFF. The films for commuters were selected by a panel of jurors who programmed according to 7 urban-themed categories. I have three titles in the festival. All films will also be available online on Sept. 11 and can be voted on for “best film”. So if your on the TTC or online you should check it out!
