Director Michael Moore is preparing for the second Traverse City Film Festival, held in his home state of Michigan.
Launched in 2005, the event pledges to show "just great movies" and "save one of America's few indigenous art forms".
The festival runs from 31 July to 6 August and features 70 films. Extra days and screenings have been added to accommodate ticket demand.
