Tapeworm is a 2019 dark comedy directed by Milos Mitrovic and Fabian Velasco. It had its world premiere in the Future//Present section of the 2019 Vancouver International Film Festival.

Described as an "anti-comedy", Tapeworm explores the loosely interconnected, mundane and miserable lives of a hypochondriac, a failed stand up comedian, two stoners and a loner living in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Each of the characters are notable mostly for how bleak and joyless their existence has become. The film went on to have its European premiere at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and its US premiere at Slamdance Film Festival.
