Michael Moore helps start Traverse City Film Festival

Although this is more regional news than national, it's good that Michigan is getting another film festival. This one up in Traverse City.

Director Michael Moore is bringing a film festival to this tourist town in
his native Michigan that will feature free outdoor showings of classic movies on
an inflatable screen.

Moore, a Flint native and current Antrim County resident, is chairman of
the newly-created Traverse City Film Festival committee, a group that hopes to
bring classic and independent films - and those who make them - to a cinematic
celebration in northern Michigan that would include showing films projected onto
an inflatable, floating screen in West Grand Traverse Bay.
"We want to show some classic films that represent the best of cinema," said
Moore about the event, scheduled for July 28-31.

For information here is the AP story. And a longer story in the local paper from the area.

I tried to find a website for the festival since it is supposed to be in July, but maybe they don't have it up yet.
