Bijou by the Bay shows 'The Interview'
Sony pictures had pulled the release of the movie “The Interview” because of controversy with North Korea.
But when Sony announced late Tuesday night that they were going to release the movie after-all, board members of the Bijou in Traverse City decided to show it.
The Bijou in Traverse City is one of more than 200 theaters across the nation that screened the movie “The Interview” on Christmas day.

Your Local Expert – Video 31: The State Theatre: 2 OF 2: Featuring Meg Weichman, Creative Director of the Traverse City Film Festival (TCFF), State Theatre, Bijou By The Bay
“Other film festivals marvel at what we do and just can’t figure out how we are able to do it. And we are like... it's Traverse City, home of the best volunteers in the world. - Meg Weichman
In this Traverse City Film Festival Rundown, Meg goes over why our film festival is a world class event that showcases films and film makers. The festival brings thousands of people to our area each year from all over the world to join in the love for the cinema.
One reason that our fil festival is highly regarded is that it’s almost completely volunteer ran! Meg goes on to say that outside of two full time employees and a couple contract employees, the film festival is ran by its volunteers.
Another reason that really sets our film festival a part from other festivals is the fact that there are no huge corporate sponsors, so you won’t be seeing ads before films. This really speaks to the local nature of the film festival and coupled with their hardworking volunteers, the Traverse City Film Festival has created a staple event for Traverse City community.

Your Local Expert – Video 30: State Theatre: 1 OF 2: Featuring Meg Weichman, Creative Director of the Traverse City Film Festival (TCFF), State Theatre, Bijou By The Bay
In this interview Meg talks with us about why the State Theatre movie experience is much more than just a movie. The State Theatre has affordable pricing for people to enjoy the magic of the cinema. With frequent community events and special offerings, the State Theatre sets itself (far) from your standard big box cinema.
The customer experience is the top priority for the staff; who is almost fully volunteer run. Offerings of special concessions, give always, and special showings of films are just some of the ways the State Theatre has brought back the love for cinema in our downtown area while giving back to the community.
Since the TCFF took over in 2007 a lot has changed in the downtown area of Traverse City. More and more community events are happening, businesses are staying open longer, and new restaurants and shops are opening up. We are truly blessed to live in such a great area!

'The Interview' movie debuts across the country
People across Arizona and the U.S. lined up to see 'The Interview.'
Critics and early viewers agree that The Interview is less than a masterpiece. But thanks to threats from hackers that nearly derailed its release, it has become an event.
Hundreds of theaters Thursday, from The Edge 8 in Greenville, Alabama, to Michael Moore's Bijou by the Bay in Traverse City, Michigan, made special holiday arrangements for the Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy depicting the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Sony Pictures had initially called off the release after major theater chains dropped the movie that was to have opened on as many as 3,000 screens.
But with President Obama among others criticizing the decision, Sony officials changed their minds. The Interview became available on a variety of digital platforms Wednesday afternoon, including Google Play, YouTube Movies, Microsoft's Xbox Video and a separate Sony website. Meanwhile, Sony and independent theaters agreed to release it in over 300 venues on Christmas.
