She's in town for film festival.

Madonna is expected in Traverse City, Michigan tonight to host a screening of her Malawi documentary, 'I Am Because We Are,' at the Traverse City Film Festival. The event has reportedly been sold out for weeks, with tickets going as high as $1,000 on eBay, according to the Detroit Free Press newspaper.

The film fest was founded by director Michael Moore, who befriended Madonna when her Maverick film company sponsored his 1995 movie, 'Canadian Bacon.' The Material Mom has other ties to Michigan: She was raised in Pontiac and her father has a vineyard there.
