Фестиваль начинается: 11 Июль 2025      Фестиваль заканчивается: 13 Июль 2025

THE FIRST FILM & SHOW-BUSINESS FESTIVAL IN ITALY ENTIRELY DEDICATED TO COMEDY!

In the heart of the Italian summer, amid the charm of Puglia, and the warmth of Manduria, The Comedy Film Fest – Manduria stands out as a high-profile cinema and entertainment festival. Over three days, the festival features film previews and hilarious live shows, all centered around the theme of great Italian and international comedy, accompanied by music and entertainment.

The event calendar is divided into various areas within the Municipality of Manduria, from the beach to the countryside, from daytime entertainment activities to wine tasting in the land of "Primitivo's wine". The main event takes place in the historic centre of the City of Manduria, where a large open-air arena of 2000 seats plays the most central role.

The fusion of cinema and music is of paramount importance. With this foundation, the festival offers a program of significant musical events seamlessly integrated into the overall schedule, enriching the experience for the audience.
