Last Minute Theatrics

Posted 2 years ago

The TIFF09 schedule, which was supposed to be published today both as content on the official Toronto International Film Festival site and as an RSS feed, was slow to appear, but unfortunately the RSS feed never materialized.
That was a big blow for us at tiffr, we were banking on using that RSS feed to populate our database. It seems that things are not as organized as they once were over on the interactive team at TIFF this year. We’ve spent the day trying to gather all of the schedule data manually from their site, as well as publishing a major update to the pre-release code that was accessible at http://tiffr.com for the last ten days or so.

The app is running smoothly, with a bunch of bug fixes and new features to help save you time, and we’re scrambling to get the data in the database so you can start making your schedules on tiffr.

Stay tuned for more updates and the official announcement of our full launch!
