Following a successful and critically acclaimed first year in September 2005, the Ernest Hemingway Festival™ sponsored by Zions Bank has been scheduled for September 28-October 1, 2006. The festival will focus on Hemingway and Hollywood this year, with a screening of the new film “Cooper and Hemingway: The True Gen” currently scheduled. Dr. Susan Beegel, the editor of The Hemingway Review, will speak on “Novel Into Film: The Case of To Have and Have Not,” which will explore the special problems of transforming a work of literature into a popular movie. In addition there will be a “Hemingway Hangout Tour”, a museum exhibit, a dine-around, a “Hemingway-in-Idaho” slide presentation, a short story contest, lectures and panel discussions by national scholars, a trap event at the Sun Valley Gun Club, and a chance to dine at Trail Creek Cabin with Hemingway’s friends and family.
