1. "JUDY'S TIME" UPDATE: From Erin Flannery (mailto:EireFlan@aol.com):

Judy's Time, the film, will be showcased by the Kodak Emerging Filmmakersprogram at the 2001 Cannes International Film Festival in May. Kodak created the Worldwide Emerging Filmmakers Program to help bridge the gap between student filmmaker and established industry filmmaker. If a film wins one of five or so select student film festivals -- such as the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences or Ft. Lauderdale Film Festival, both of which bestowed the award for 1st Place Documentary on Judy's Time -- Kodak gives the director the Emerging Filmmaker Award. That includes a motion picture film grant and the opportunity to attend and participate in the Cannes Film
Festival. It's a unique advantage for students who would otherwise be locked out of the festival, as it is not open to the public. 
On May 15th, Judy's Time and the other winning films will be showcased at the American Pavilion at the festival.

2. "JUDY'S TIME" PLAYS CLOSER TO HOME: Also from Erin Flannery: 
On April 21, the multi-award winning documentary Judy's Time, will be screening in the Lindsey Auditorium at the University of Denver at 7:30 pm after a preview dinner at 5:30.
Judy's Time has captured national attention for its moving and often humorous portrayal of a woman whose athletic talent sparked her spectacular midlife transformation and changed the community around her. A  mother of five who began running at age 38, Judy Flannery became a four-time world champion triathlete in her 50s. Sadly, at age 57, she was struck and killed
by a car while she was training.

Her daughter Erin made this documentary in tribute to her mother. Come meet Erin and enjoy the film. Call 303-871-6934 or e-mail (mailto:lbirdson@du.edu) for more information.

Note: over 400 people came to this event.
