tiffr

To avoid duplication and not step on toes, tiffr.com was built to rely on the TIFF website for the canonical information about the festival (after all they organize and run the festival, who should know the information about the films and screenings better than them?).  Our aim was to build on the fact that their website, historically, isn’t the greatest, to put it delicately.  There are some major risks to that approach when it comes to TIFF, namely that their site won’t work reliably or at all, and that has come to haunt us this year (so far).

Because of broken links and unreliable data that has changed several times since the schedule was “released” yesterday, on top of the fact that Ryan and I are completely swamped with our day jobs, we haven’t been able to properly launch tiffr.com yet for TIFF10.

Have no fear, though. We’re doing our best to come up with a way so that you don’t have to go back to flash cards, backs of envelopes and Ouija boards to figure out your schedule for this year’s festival.

We’ll let you know when the site is ready for use, and in the meantime, sit back, relax, flip casually through your festival package and rest assured that tiffr will save you time again this year.
