Cannes Picks Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911"

Friends,

I just got word that my new film, "Fahrenheit 911," has been selected by the Cannes Film Festival to premiere there in competition next month!

This is only the second time in the last 48 years that a documentary has been chosen to be in the main competition (the first being "Bowling for Columbine" in 2002) -- and, in fact, another documentary has also been chosen for this year. The non-fiction film revolution rolls on!

I am deeply honored by this announcement, considering it comes from our mortal enemy, the French.

This year's jury in Cannes is headed by Quentin Tarantino and also includes director Jerry Schatzberg, Kathleen Turner, Tilda Swinton and others.

"Fahrenheit 911" will be in theaters across the U.S. (and the rest of the world) this summer. More info, gossip and all the juicy details to follow...

Thanks everyone for your support.

Michael Moore

1. wow, congrats!

(part of me also feels like it's france, our eldest ally - and possibly the bravest - willing to cruel to be kind, is trying to desperately use everything in their power to warn america to not make mistakes old europe did.)

6. Mike mentioned this summer

So I would assume June, July or August. September is late summer/early fall. I Imagine it'll compete with Spiderman 2, Day After Tommorow, Alien Vs. Predator, and Harry Potter 3. Bug competition for reality fans.;-)

4. I can't wait for this film to be out

Like it or not movies have a big impact on the culture and the mindset of the masses. Knowing Moore I bet it is biting and really, really nasty to BushCo.

He must have realized the incredible need for this film.
