A TUFF Contest

The Toronto Urban Film Festival (TUFF) is coming up and 10 Movies has a contest for you! As a quick refresher, TUFF is the one-minute silent film festival that happens from September 11 – 20 on the One Stop Network on the TTC, Toronto’s public transit subway system. This is one of my favorite festivals of the year since it has a required format – a one minute silent film – that I believe stretches filmmakers to make something new and interesting.Guest judge Don McKellar and a number of fantastic prizes make this year’s TUFF even more interesting to me.

Recently announced are the Heineken Film Zones located on the North and South platform of Bloor station. The Film Zones will feature a vinyl wrapped kiosk and will run the over 75 films that will run continuously during the festival. So if you don’t catch them on your commute you can stop by Bloor and catch a few. The shorts are awesome and it’ll only take a couple of minutes. (Really.)

But I said something about a contest, didn’t I? 10 Movies has 4 one-week transferable TTC passes to give away. The passes are good for unlimited travel from September 14-20 and are valued at $32.50.

So what do you have to do to enter? Send an email to trista@10moviestosee.com with the subject line TUFF Contest and include your favorite movie that features transit. It can be one scene or it can be the whole movie, but it must be included to be a qualified entry. Please send all entries by 12 noon on Friday, September 4. The winner will be randomly selected.
