More buyers are set to sign on in advance of the PBS broadcast of <em>Hemingway<\/em> in the U.S. from April 5 to 7.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hemingway<\/em> paints an intimate picture of the writer, who captured the complexities of the human condition in spare and profound prose and whose work remains influential around the world. The docuseries also explores the myth of Hemingway the man\u2019s man, revealing a deeply troubled and ultimately tragic figure. The film explores his limitations and biases as an artist as well. Burns and Novick combine a close study of the biographical events of Hemingway&#8217;s life with excerpts from his fiction, nonfiction and short stories, with interviews with celebrated writers, scholars and Hemingway\u2019s son, Patrick.\u00a0Narrated by Peter Coyote, the series features an all-star cast of actors to bring Hemingway (voiced by Jeff Daniels), his friends and family to life. Meryl Streep, Keri Russell, Mary-Louise Parker and Patricia Clarkson voice his four wives.<\/p>\n<p>The film was written by Geoffrey C. Ward and produced by Sarah Botstein. <em>Hemingway<\/em> is a production of Florentine Films and WETA Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Ken Burns said: \u201c<em>Hemingway<\/em> is both an intimate, turbulent family saga and an examination of some of the greatest works of literature in the 20th century. We are unsparing in our inquiry into less well-known aspects of his character and writing. Our intent is to offer viewers an honest portrayal of a complex and conflicted writer who left an indelible mark on literature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lynn Novick said: \u201cIn an era when people are re-evaluating so many icons, Hemingway is a particularly compelling figure to revisit. He was hugely complicated, deeply flawed, and he truly revolutionized the art of writing. One of the great revelations of this project was sitting down with renowned writers from around the world\u2014Mario Vargas Llosa, Edna O\u2019Brien, Abraham Verghese, Leonardo Padura, Mary Karr\u2014and hearing them share their insights into Hemingway&#8217;s work and why he is still important today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Botstein said: \u201cOne of the great challenges of this project was finding ways\u2014visually, cinematically\u2014to show how Hemingway honed his craft and how he used words to such extraordinary effect. In collaboration with our editors, we deployed all the tools in our filmmaking toolbox\u2014graphic effects, archival footage and photographs, live cinematography, sound effects\u2014to make Hemingway\u2019s work come fully alive on screen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PBS International has licensed Hemingway, a six-hour documentary series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, to broadcasters around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":15752,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[5362,2055],"class_list":["post-15751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-hemingway","tag-pbs-international","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ken Burns\u2019 Hemingway Docuseries Sells Across the Globe - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ken-burns-hemingway-docuseries-sells-across-the-globe\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ken Burns\u2019 Hemingway Docuseries Sells Across the Globe - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"PBS International has licensed Hemingway, a six-hour documentary series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, to broadcasters around the world.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ken-burns-hemingway-docuseries-sells-across-the-globe\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-02-23T16:18:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-02-23T17:11:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/hemingway-pbs-0221.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"470\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"325\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ken-burns-hemingway-docuseries-sells-across-the-globe\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ken-burns-hemingway-docuseries-sells-across-the-globe\/\",\"name\":\"Ken Burns\u2019 Hemingway Docuseries Sells Across the Globe - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-02-23T16:18:53+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-02-23T17:11:08+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ken-burns-hemingway-docuseries-sells-across-the-globe\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ken-burns-hemingway-docuseries-sells-across-the-globe\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/ken-burns-hemingway-docuseries-sells-across-the-globe\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Ken Burns\u2019 Hemingway Docuseries Sells Across the Globe\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
