July 27, 2005Odds and ends from the Film FestivalFROM STAFF REPORTSMuriel's in downtown Traverse City has gotten into the Film Festival spirit by decorating their windows with a movie theme. Dimi Burgess of Muriel's used film strips draped around the windows to tie together such elements as full-sized cutouts of Humphrey Bogart and John Wayne, pictures from old Look magazines, a director's chair and more. "Somebody put a lot of work into those windows," said a Cheboygan woman visiting Traverse City who called to commend them. "Whoever did it in the shop did a great job." - Popcorn and movies may go hand in hand, but at the Old Town Playhouse, it's water and candy - and not during the movie. Due to a long-standing policy banning food and drink in the OTP auditorium, concessions will offer those items only, in the downstairs lobby and then only water and candy. - Traverse City Film Festival founder Michael Moore loves movies. Asked for his top 10 all-time favorites, he responded. They are, in no particular order: "Hearts and Minds" "Clockwork Orange" "Taxi Driver" "Wild Strawberries" "PeeWee's Big Adventure" "Lost in America" "Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story" (by Todd Haynes) "Sherman's March" "Sophie's Choice" "To Kill a Mockingbird" See Related Stories: Interlochen reaps benefits of Traverse City Film Festival - July 27, 2005 Inflatable screens becoming popular - July 27, 2005 Traverse Bay Freedom Filmfest: 'Mainstream' against 'extremist' - July 26, 2005 Hope for TC's State Theatre renewed as festival nears - July 24, 2005 Ticket sales, financial support keep growing for film festival - July 22, 2005 AFR Freedom FilmFest opens next Friday - July 22, 2005 Profile: Moore on Michael - July 22, 2005 Panel sessions range from politics to producing - July 22, 2005 Behind the scenes: the committee - July 22, 2005 Small town, world films: Buffs looking forward to indie films - July 22, 2005 Volunteers come from all parts of the state - July 22, 2005 At Issue: Letters to the Editor about the Film Festival - July 22, 2005 The films: descriptions & reviews (2-page PDF) - July 22, 2005 Extra screenings added for film festival's sold-out shows - July 20, 2005 No alcohol allowed at festival's Open Space films - July 20, 2005 Hollywood to visit Traverse City for Film Festival - July 17, 2005 Conservatives offer alternate film festival - July 7, 2005 Moviegoers rush to buy film festival tickets - July 2, 2005 Michael Moore announces TC Film Festival lineup - July 1, 2005 Moore deilivers for first Traverse City film extravaganza - July 1, 2005 Michael Moore hopes actors will visit Traverse City Film Fest - June 16, 2005 TC Film Festival: Residents share noise, crowd concerns - June 8, 2005 Coming soon: Classics; Michael Moore backs TC film festival - June 4, 2005 See Related Editorial: TC Film Festival plans a great fit for the area - June 12, 2005
