The film festival in Traverse City was founded by Michael Moore, the Flint, Mich., native known for documentaries like "Roger and Me" and "Fahrenheit 911." Most of the year, the city on Lake Michigan on the north end of the state's thumb, is known for its cherries.

Moore, sharing a comedy panel with Larry Charles, director of "Borat," wowed the audience by telling them he was wearing his "Madonna shorts." He also wore a black T-shirt and one of his trademark baseball caps.

Madonna, during her audience session, announced that her next world tour will include a concert in Detroit, Moore told the newspaper.
