FILM: Shake off the February blahs at the World of Comedy Film Festival this weekend (on through March 1). Gut-busting animated and live-action shorts (plus a few features) from around the globe treat us to humour with universal appeal. This year's line-up includes three new shorts from Wallace and Grommit creators Aardman Animation, the new Matthew Modine–voiced piece Santa: The Fascist Years from Oscar-nominated animator Bill Plympton, and full-length documentary Certifiably Jonathan featuring veteran comedian Jonathan Winters trying to rediscover his lost sense of humour. Comedy production novices can get into the act with professional development seminars on Saturday and Sunday. Innis College, Town Hall Theatre (2 Sussex Avenue), 9:30 p.m. (opening night program), $10 per screening.
