A documentary film that turns the tables on acclaimed documentarian Michael Moore is the Bermuda International Film Festival's August Film Series presentation.

'Manufacturing Dissent', which screens at the prestigious Edinburgh Film Festival this month, will screen tomorrow at 7.30 p.m. in the Tradewinds Auditorium at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute.

Tickets, $8 for BIFF Film Club members and $10 for non-members, can be reserved by e-mailing the festival at info@biff.bm.

Canadian filmmakers Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine, fresh from making the documentary 'Citizen Black', about press baron Conrad Black, originally set out to make an admiring, straight-up, observational biography of Moore, who won the Academy Award for 'Bowling for Columbine' and the Palme d'Or for 'Fahrenheit 9/11'.

But as the filmmakers, who describe themselves as "progressive liberals", spoke to more and more of the filmmaker's former colleagues, the film began to take on a different complexion. The film remains respectful of Moore's idealism, but raises some serious questions about his filmmaking methodology. The 77-minute film will also screen in October at the Vancouver and Atlantic (Halifax) film festivals.
