"Michael Moore Plans 2nd Film Festival"
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) - Michael Moore has made a career of butting heads with bigwigs.

His documentaries, laced with satire on politics and society, have taken aim at General Motors Corp. (GM) ("Roger & Me"), the National Rifle Association ("Bowling for Columbine," the 2002 Oscar winner) and President Bush ("Fahrenheit 9/11").

Still in the works is "Sicko," a none-too-flattering perspective on the U.S. health care system.

And he's overseeing the second annual Traverse City Film Festival, which he established last year with author Doug Stanton and photographer John Robert Williams. More than 70 films, many independently produced, will be shown in three indoor theaters and on a giant outdoor screen from Monday through Aug. 6.
