Doc Blog is visiting the third annual Traverse City Film Festival, founded by Michael Moore, located a few hours northwest from his beloved Flint, MI. The festival, lasting through Sunday, upholds its slogan "just great movies" by ignoring premiere status to show a rich sampling of this year in film, mixed with some classics. As I wrote last year in Indiewire, Moore frequently introduces the screenings himself. On Thursday he took the stage to introduce D.A. Pennebaker's 1960's Bob Dylan doc Dont Look Back (the apostrophe was intentionally left out of "Dont" because Pennebaker liked how that looked). Moore addressed his comments to younger members of the audience, explaining this was a film that changed our notion of what films could be.
