Fishbowl 

From Constellation Magazine:  

"Fishbowl is my filmmaker brother (Stephen Kinigopoulos) and my debut feature. It started as one of my photoshoots…. It’s about a widowed man, Rick Simon, taking care of his three teenage daughters, Belle, Rachel, and Jessa, in a judgmental small town full of secrets. Down on his luck, he becomes obsessed with a televangelist on television preaching that the rapture is coming. Rick Simon (the father) struggles to convince the town and his daughters that the end is upon them, unless they save themselves and act purely. We shot in our hometown of Howard County, Maryland: in one of our high schools, neighbors’ homes, private schools, and many churches in towns nearby."

Bad Bad Winter 

This film is being shown twice today because the festival folks expect a lot of people to want to see this Alaska made and focused film.  More about the film from the Rasmuson Foundation.

Bad Bad Winter is a French film with a premise vaguely similar to Datsche which I liked last night.  In Datsche, Valentine goes to his grandfather's summer garden house after the grandfather's death.  From the description of Bad Bad Winter:

"After the passing of her grandmother, a businessman's daughter goes back to her birthplace. After a little while, she receives the visit of her former classmates but their reunion take an unexpected turn."

I suspect this film won't be quite as uplifting as Datsche was, but it may well be as good.
