Morely is one of the judges of the Syracuse International Film and Video Festival, which begins April 29. She was recently nominated for the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) award for Best New Director for her documentary, “Alcohol Years,” which was produced by Channel 4 in England.
