Michael Moore Interview

Michal Moore has been instrumental in starting the Traverse City Film Festival, which takes place for the third year this summer in Traverse City, MI (my hometown). It’s what Sundance wishes it could recapture – a more quaint, more interesting, more subtle approach to film that actually lets the films speak without the excess. In short, Paris Hilton doesn’t show up here and we would like to keep it that way.

The festival has been hugely successful each of the past two years, and brings many movies that we wouldn’t normally see. Last year I had the chance to see Borat before it was officially released and listen to Larry Charles talk about the filming process (they were arrested a lot).

Here’s a recent HBO Bill Maher interview with Michael Moore, his first in two years. It talks mostly about Moore’s new movie, Sicko, but is live from Traverse City, MI.
