PARIS -- Michael Moore's award-winning documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 will be released in France on July 7, by Mars Distribution, two weeks after its U.S. release, the StudioCanal subsidiary said on Wednesday. The Palme d'Or winner will be released on 200 screens, making it one of the widest initial releases for a documentary in France, Mars said. The film's success at Cannes has prompted other documentary film producers to release their films theatrically. Swiss writer-director William Karel's (CIA: Secret Wars), documentary The World According to Bush, produced by Jean-Francois Lepetit's Paris-based Flach Film will be released on 20 screens in France on June 23. The film, which is a strong indictment of President Bush's first 1,000 days in power, will be premiered on pubcaster France 2, for whom the film was initially made.
