The Toronto Urban Film Festival — “The Festival for Commutors” — is currently accepting submissions.
TUFF is an 8-day long public film festival on the TTC – the only one of its kind in North America – featuring a different urban-themed program of 1-minute films each day.
We encourage all genres of film, video, and animation from both trained professional, and untrained amateur, artists and filmmakers. National and International submissions welcomed.
All submissions must be silent and exactly 60 seconds.
Take part in the citizen’s film festival and share your work with an audience of over 1 million people.
All films must be submitted to one of the following thematic categories:
- Urban Encounters — the moments that make city-living worthwhile
- Urban Fears — the darker side of living in a metropolis
- Urban Growth — from skyscrapers to suburban sprawl
- Urban Imaginary — hopes for the future of municipalities
- Urban Natural — the living city, both nurtured and oppressed
- Urban Secrets — stories about the hidden or forgotten city
- Urban Travels — from taking public transit to practicing Parkour
Submission deadline is July 1st. Click here for more details.
