We hosts a conference on Ernest Hemingway: an ambassador of Spanish language

Next Tuesday, the 5th of April, Instituto Hemingway is organising a conference on the 50th anniversary of the death of Ernest Hemingway and his relationship to Spain, the world of bullfighting, Pamplona and Bilbao.

Instituto Hemingway has invited world experts on the figure of Hemingway to this event, such as Jose Maria Gatti and Andres Arenas Gómez. The programme will begin on Tuesday the 5th April at 7pm in the home of Instituto Hemingway on Calle Bailén 5, 2 dcha. The title of the conference will be “Ernest Hemingway; half a century without knowing the truth,” whereby Giuseppe Recchia, director and screenwriter, will make his investigations about the writer known. He will show us that Hemingway did not actually commit suicide, but was in fact assassinated.

The Director of Instituto Hemingway will begin the conference with an introduction on how the eponymous school was funded, after which a documentary about the author and his connections to Spain will be shown. Following this, the conference itself will begin and Jose Maria Gatti will talk about Hemingway´s suicide. Accredited press, photographers and journalists will also all be in attendance.

As a member of Bilbao´s branch of the Club Cocherito de Bilbao, the oldest club in Spain for aficionados of bullfighting, Alfredo Olive will explain and expand upon the links between Ernest Hemingway and bulls.

A team of approximately 50 people will shortly be moving to Bilbao to begin filming “The world of Hemingway”. International actors and actresses as renowned as Jaume Queralt or Pilar López de Ayala will play roles in the film, whose production will take the crew across many countries.

All students from Instituto Hemingway, especially those with an interest in literature or cinema, are cordially invited to this event, as well as anyone not currently studying at the school with a desire to learn more about this topic. At the end of the event, light refreshments will be served.
