The Red Skelton Museum in Vincennes is launching a comedy film festival. Organizers of the Laughter Film Festival, set for August 10-12, say the goal is for filmmakers to show that they can make a comedy "without sex, gore and four-letter words."

The festival will award prizes for Best Comedy, Best Non-verbal (Silent Spot), Best Physical Comedy, Best Pathos, Best Silly Character and Feel Good Film. Entries are not allowed to have vulgarity, nudity, gore or other adult-oriented material. The submission period begins February 1.
