Hemingway List 2021 HEMINGWAY LIST 2021 Ernest Hemingway wrote for the common person, so that anyone could understand his manifold adventures with ease. HEMINGWAY, a three-part, six-hour documentary film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, examines the visionary work and the turbulent life of Ernest Hemingway, one of the greatest and most influential writers America has ever produced. Interweaving his eventful biography — a life lived at the ultimately treacherous nexus of art, fame, and celebrity — with carefully selected excerpts from his iconic short stories, novels, and non-fiction, the series reveals the brilliant, ambitious, charismatic, and complicated man behind the myth, and the art he created. This list compiles a selection of his canonical works, as well as biographies.

  • Review Essay Ken Burns and Lynn Novick's the Vietnam
    Review Essay Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s The Vietnam War MARK PHILIP BRADLEY True confessions: I did not go into the eighteen hours of Ken Burns and Lynn Novick’s The Vietnam War with a totally open mind.1 Burns’s 1990 documentary series The Civil War, which made his career, had evoked a storm of controversy, with such leading his- torians as Leon Litwack and Eric Foner offering scathing critiques of how the film depicted African Americans as passive victims and entirely ignored the ways in which the postwar era of Reconstruction became an exercise in white supremacy. As Foner wrote, “Faced with a choice between historical illumination or nostalgia, Burns consis- tently opts for nostalgia.”2 Subsequent documentaries on jazz and World War II always struck me, and in fact many critics, as deliberately skirting potentially subversive counter-narratives in a kind of burnishing of the past.3 And to be quite honest, all of them seemed too long. In the case of Burns and Novick’s earlier series The War (2007) and its fifteen-hour embrace of the greatest generation narrative, Burns’s insular docu- mentary painted World War II as an entirely American affair, with non-white and non- American voices largely to the side. The much-heralded “Ken Burns effect” had never worked its magic on me. When I began to hear the tagline for The Vietnam War in the drumbeat of publicity before it was first aired on PBS last September (you will have to conjure up the melan- choly Peter Coyote voiceover as you read)—“It was begun in good faith by decent peo- ple out of fateful misunderstandings, American overconfidence, and Cold War mis- calculations”—I anticipated a painful eighteen hours.

THE LEGACY OF AMERICAN PHOTOJOURNALISM IN KEN BURNS’S VIETNAM WAR DOCUMENTARY SERIES Camille Rouquet LARCA/Paris Sciences et Lettres In his review of The Vietnam War, the 18-hour-long documentary series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick released in September 2017, New York Times television critic James Poniewozik wrote: “The Vietnam War” is not Mr. Burns’s most innovative film. Since the war was waged in the TV era, the filmmakers rely less exclusively on the trademark “Ken Burns effect” pans over still images. Since Vietnam was the “living-room war,” played out on the nightly news, this documentary doesn’t show us the fighting with new eyes, the way “The War” did with its unearthed archival World War II footage.

  • Vietnam Revisited
    OCTOBER 2017 VIETNAM REVISITED elebrated filmmaker Ken Burns — heralded as “America’s storyteller” for such films as Jazz, Baseball, The Roosevelts, and Brooklyn Bridge — makes television history again this month with the premiere of The Vietnam War, a new 10-part, 18-hour documentary series co-directed by Lynn Novick. CTen years in the making, The Vietnam War tells the epic story of one of the most divisive and controversial events in American history as it has never before been told on film. The immersive narrative reveals the human dimensions of the war through testimony from nearly 80 witnesses, including Americans who fought in the war and others who opposed it, as well as Vietnamese combatants and civilians from both sides of the conflict. Digitally re-mastered archival footage, photographs taken by legendary 20th century photojournalists, historic television broadcasts, evocative home movies, and revelatory audio recordings from inside the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations bring the war and the chaotic era it encompassed to life. More than 120 popular songs that defined the era by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Simon and Garfunkel, Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Pete Seeger, and other iconic artists further enhance the storytelling. “The Vietnam War was a decade of agony that took the lives of more than 58,000 Americans,” Burns said. “Not since the Civil War have we as a country been so torn apart. More than 40 years after it ended, we can’t forget Vietnam, and we are still arguing about why it went wrong, who was to blame and whether it was all worth it.” Burns hopes The Vietnam War will inspire national conversations about our country’s history and who we are as Americans.

  • Minnesota Remembers Vietnam
    MINNESOTA REMEMBERS VIETNAM A COLLABORATION OF THE KSMQ-TV LAKELAND PBS PIONEER PUBLIC TV PRAIRIE PUBLIC TWIN CITIES PBS WDSE-WRPT To our COMMUNITIES Our year-long, statewide initiative called Minnesota Remembers Vietnam was conceived well over two years ago when we learned that filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick were going to present to America their comprehensive and definitive work on Vietnam. We took pause at Twin Cities PBS (TPT) and asked: “What could we do to bring this story home? What might we do to honor and give voice to those in Minnesota whose lives were touched by this confusing, divisive, and tumultuous period in American history? And what might we do to create understanding and healing?” We set our sights very high, and the collective $2 million raised in public support from the State of Minnesota’s Legacy Fund, generous foundations and organizations, and our community, allowed us to dream big and create what has been the largest and one of the most important projects in TPT’s 60-year history. In partnership with the five other PBS stations in the state, we explored the war from all sides. It has been a deeply moving experience for all of us at TPT and the stations of the MPTA, and we feel much richer for having been a part of this. I can tell you very sincerely that in my four decades of working with PBS, I've never been involved in a project that was so universally embraced. The unifying message that I heard time and time again from those who supported the war, those who demonstrated against it, and those who only learned about it through the history books was that the time was now to seize the moment to honor those who served their country during this tumultuous and confusing time… people who were shunned and endured hardships upon returning home, and who, until very recently, did not feel welcome to tell their stories, both the joyful memories of friendships and camaraderie and the haunting memories of battle.

  • July 30, 2017 TCA Panelist Bios
    July 30, 2017 TCA Panelist Bios Ken Burns Ken Burns has been making documentary films for almost 40 years. Since the Academy Award-nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made, including The Civil War; Baseball; Jazz, The Statue of Liberty; Huey Long; Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery; Frank Lloyd Wright; Mark Twain; Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson; The War; The National Parks: America’s Best Idea; The Roosevelts: An Intimate History; Jackie Robinson; and, most recently, Defying the Nazis: The Sharps’ War. A December 2002 poll conducted by Real Screen Magazine listed The Civil War as second only to Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North as the “most influential documentary of all time,” and named Ken Burns and Robert Flaherty as the “most influential documentary makers” of all time. In March 2009, David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun said, “… Burns is not only the greatest documentarian of the day, but also the most influential filmmaker period. That includes feature filmmakers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. I say that because Burns not only turned millions of persons onto history with his films, he showed us a new way of looking at our collective past and ourselves.” The late historian Stephen Ambrose said of his films, “More Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source.” Future projects include films on the history of country music, Ernest Hemingway, and the history of stand-up comedy.
