The winners are not yet posted at TIFF site but I assume that soon they will post them as the previous winners are posted there. The Romanian Film Promotion site is here and has a link to a Variety article where you will find some of the winners.

I know I haven’t seen Boogie but I also know that I’ll be seeing it as soon as I go back home.
