If you dreaded your last high school reunion, imagine how the guys from A Criminal Reunion—a documentary depicting the reunion of prisoners and guards from Alcatraz—feel. It's just one of the many films being shown at the 2009 Frozen Film Festival in San Francisco; a festival that showcases films "made in or pertaining to Bay Area groups and residences," according to the fest staff. In an effort to fulfill their mission of "creating a sustainable and supportive network of independent artists in the Bay Area," this non-profit fest goes above and beyond and offers one-of-a-kind activities such as live art shows and a music competition, in addition to film screenings.
