(Austin, TX) - The Austin Film Society (AFS) Documentary Tour and the University of Texas Documentary Center are pleased to announce a special documentary presentation, screened over three nights, April 7th, 8th and 9th, of Jennifer Fox’s engrossing series FLYING: CONFESSIONS OF A FREE WOMAN.
Divided into six parts, FLYING is a six-hour journey into the hearts and minds of women. Fox comes to a crossroads in her life as she juggles relationships with two men in her life. Her own indecision between heated passion and security and love leads her to seek advice and stories from her friends around the globe. The result is a gripping portrait of the lives of modern women that was called “playful, sexy, tragic and contemplative” by the New York Times.
Filmmaker Jennifer Fox will be in attendance for Q&A after all screenings. The program is as follows:
Monday April 7 @ 7:30pm
