Flying:
Confessions of a free woman
 
PEASANTVILLE EXCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT!  TWO DAYS ONLY!
at The Jacob Burns Film Center
 
 
"FLYING" is an addictive soap about sexuality and sisterhood.  And if that makes the average man's eyeballs roll, all the more reason for his honey to buy him a ticket!"          
-Jeannette Catsoulis, NEW YORK TIMES
 
 
 
Critically acclaimed filmmaker Jennifer Fox's FLYING: CONFESSIONS OF A FREE WOMAN begins where "Sex and the City" leaves off -- except it's real. A seasoned New Yorker struggling to juggle work, relationships, and her new found desire to have a child, Fox decides to turn the camera on herself and her girlfriends. Not satisfied, she takes off across the globe to investigate how other women live. Employing a new technique called "passing the camera", she journeys into the homes and bedrooms of women in 17 countries, capturing secret conversations about love, freedom, children, men and sex. Filmed over five years, this epic modern-day road movie asks the questions: What do women really want? Why is sexual freedom so precarious? Does choice equal happiness, let alone freedom? What does it mean to be "free?" Revelatory, humorous, and never predictable, FLYING is a must-see new film destined to become a cult hit.
 
 "Jennifer Fox's "FLYING" should be REQUIRED VIEWING for every woman!"
-Candace Bushnel, Creator, SEX AND THE CITY
