Canadian International Comedy Film Festival

The Canadian International Comedy Film Festival, formerly the Shärt International Comedy Film Festival takes place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada each February.[1][2]

It was founded in 2013 with a grant from the Shärt Foundation, and named the Shärt International Comedy Film Festival, but parted ways with the foundation acrimoniously and after legal proceedings was revived in 2018 as the Canadian International Comedy Film Festival.[3]

The 8th festival is scheduled for 29 February 2020, and takes place at the Park Theatre, Winnipeg.[4]
