27th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Film Festival Screens "PAPA"

From the film Papa director Bob Yari along with actors Adrian Sparks and Mariel Hemingway to attend.

Papa follows journalist Ed Myers (Giovanni Ribisi) on his adventure to Cuba in 1959, on a mission to meet his idol, the legendary Ernest Hemingway (Adrian Sparks). Hidden away at a private estate with his wife Mary (Joely Richardson), the elusive author mentors young Myers in fishing, drinking and finding his voice, while the Cuban Revolution comes to a boil all around them. In this turbulent landscape, beholding an icon in his twilight years, Myers discovers his strength, while recognizing that all of our heroes are human. 



Director Bob Yari, best known for his award-winning work as a producer on films like Crash, The Illusionist and The Painted Veil, here brings an exquisite sense of time and place to a true story that is in many ways – like the man at its heart – larger than life.
