Toronto Urban Film Festival (TUFF) Making a great one-minute film, that's TUFF! Congratulations to the TUFF 2010 Winning Filmmakers! It was a great year for TUFF, and we want to thank all our filmmakers, sponsors, supporters, and everyone who submitted a film! It was also a banner year for our website, with over 15,000 visitors in September and almost 7500 votes cast for our 2010 films. Paper Games, the winner of the Audience Choice Award won with 1786 votes. Thanks to everyone who voted and to those who left comments. Voting is over, but the films stay up and we record comments and star ratings all year long, so please keep letting the filmmakers know what you think about their work. Our 2011 Call for Submissions will begin in April. If you live in Toronto, watch the Onestop TTC screens for our upcoming projects StrollCity (April 21 - October 5) and DRIFT (October 2).
