The Madison Polish Film Festival is a bifurcated affair this year with the first round of films being shown 19-20 November. In his weekly "What's playing in Madison theaters this week" blog post dated 17 November Rob Thomas of 77 Square neglected to mention the festival. I emailed him at the time asking about the omission but never heard back.
And so it's not totally surprising that in his blog today there is yet again no mention of part 2 of the festival. Now that I look, I see no mention of it in Isthmus either. (Wait, I see it on their webpage in the Critics Choice spot but nothing in the Movies section.)
Harumph.
Here are the details:

The plot follows the typical outline of a romantic comedy but the setting of funeral homes and cemeteries gives it a dark atmosphere.

The mother visits her on a mission to make sure her daughter does not miss out on true love for the boy next door.
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11
MARQUEE THEATER; Union South
