‘THE DIVINE ORDER’, ‘I AM EVIDENCE’ Among Winners of 2017 Traverse City Film Festival
[caption id="attachment_22818" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]
The Divine Order[/caption]
The 2017 Traverse City Film Festival (TCFF), founded by Michael Moore in 2005, wrapped after screening 115 feature films and 66 shorts in its 13th year. For the first time in TCFF history, Moore was unable to attend the festival due to a conflict with his Broadway show “The Terms of My Surrender,” which opened Friday, July 28.
Audience Awards went to “The Divine Order” for Best Fiction Film and “I Am Evidence” for Best Documentary. The Founders Grand Prize went to filmmaker Raoul Peck for his two TCFF selections, “I Am Not Your Negro” and “The Young Karl Marx.”
The 14th Annual Traverse City Film Festival will take place July 31 to August 5, 2018.
