We are proud to announce the winners for #WUFF10.

Our 10th Anniversary Season took place during the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unsure of whether movie theaters would re-open, we rolled out a virtual preview festival in May. Then, from October 8th-24th, we went hybrid (in-person and online), making our return to Cinema Village Theater for the first full week, where patrons were required to be vaccinated. The turn out was quite good! The following days continued with films on our Eventive streaming page.

Our final live show was a fantastic evening of powerful films, including *Company Town* and *Conversations Between Shifts*, with **Directors** **Peter Findlay** and **Ben Basem** for a spirited Q&A alongside special guests **Jerry Dias, President of Unifor** (Canada) and **Rebecca Damon, Exec VP of SAG-AFTRA**, who explained the ease of micro budgets/contracts for new indie filmmakers. **Bruce Raynor, Director of the Hillman Foundation**, and our **NYC Central Labor Council Chief of Staff** **Brendan Griffith**, were also in attendance. WUFF thanks everyone for their support!
