We must laugh or we’ll cry.
In a world where day-to-day news can bring tears, comedy feels almost like an act of defiance. These fifteen films charge boldly into the odd corners of the world around us. Some are “out there” science fiction or fantasy shorts, some are slice-of-life pieces, others are weird and wild mind-bogglers — even a biopic or two. These films come from big names and newcomers alike, featuring stars you may recognize from Cinequest’s past. They’ll absolutely slay you with belly laughs — and make you chuckle, perhaps ruefully, sometimes at the very same moment.
