Michael and Them: Moore Foes Hold Fest
By Paul Bond

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Just as his "Fahrenheit 9/11" opens nationwide, several filmmakers are readying documentaries aimed at debunking Michael Moore (news), and a new film festival is being planned that will feature such works as well as other documentaries well to the right of Moore's films.

Scheduled Sept. 9-11 in Dallas, the American Film Renaissance, as the festival will be known, has just been announced by co-founder Jim Hubbard, who said it is bankrolled primarily by some "big-time conservative donors."

Hubbard currently is negotiating to show two films critical of Moore.

The first is "Michael Moore Hates America," made by newcomer Michael Wilson and funded partially by Brian Cartmell, who made a small fortune when he sold his Internet domain registration company, eNic, to Verisign. The feature film, made for $200,000 and featuring appearances from Penn Jillette and John Stossel, among others, is looking for a theatrical and DVD distribution deal.

Dallas area DUers - you'll have to check this out and see what kind of turnout they get for this film festival. Maybe they'll have as many folks show up as this well attended pro-war rally in DC:

4. I'm all in favor of this.

I hold fast to the belief the best response to free speech is more free speech. This is a much better use of their copious spare time than trying to keep F9/11 out of theaters.

I wonder how their boxoffice will compare to F9/11's.

5. My goodness, they should call it the American Racist Film Festival

From the article:

"Terminal Island" is a black-and-white feature film about a woman being stalked by a Muslim terrorist who is himself being stalked by a bounty hunter.

"When you shop a script like this around," said Murty, "studio execs say, 'Is this about Muslim terrorists? We don't want to touch it."'

Hey idiot - they don't want to touch it because we're trying NOT to stereotype. I mean Timothy McVeigh was as white as they come!!!
