Discover artifacts that tell the tale of the author’s Up North years and beyond, thanks to the Clarke Historical Library alongside famed historian Michael Federspiel, via vignette videos and a live in-studio conversation hosted by WCMU’s Matthew Ozanich.
Virtual attendees will also get an exclusive advanced preview of the newest film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, HEMINGWAY, that premieres on Monday, April 5th at 8 p.m. on WCMU.
During the film screening, there will a LIVE conversation with HEMINGWAY filmmaker Lynn Novick and producer Sarah Botstein. Viewers will have an opportunity to ask the filmmakers questions about the film and this incredible story of one of America’s most monumental figures.
Plus – WCMU is seeking a call for entries from Michigan students in partnership with area libraries to submit written entries about their personal experiences, drawing inspiration from Ernest Hemingway. Details on this Hemingway Artistic Expressions Competition for Teens to come.
