Coppola led the project as a proof of concept piece for a richer, more in- depth future live broadcast that will recount the struggles and triumphs of three generations of an Italian- American family set against the birth and growth of the invention of television. Distant Vision is an ongoing experimental film project by Francis Ford Coppola. <SEP> Henry Walter Moore( 1849 – 20 August 1916) was an English- born first- class cricketer who spent most of his life in New Zealand. <SEP> He was a central figure in the New Hollywood filmmaking movement of the 1960s and 1970s. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. After directing" The Rain People" in 1969, Coppola co-wrote" Patton"( 1970), earning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay along with Edmund H. North. Coppola's reputation as a filmmaker was cemented with the release of" The Godfather"( 1972). The film revolutionized movie- making in the gangster genre, and was adored by the public and critics alike. " The Godfather" won three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay( shared with Mario Puzo). Francis Ford Coppola( born April 7, 1939) is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, film composer, and vintner. " The Godfather Part II", which followed in 1974, became the first sequel to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Highly regarded by critics, the film brought Coppola three more Academy Awards: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture, and made him the second director( after Billy Wilder) to be so honored three times for the same film. " The Conversation", which Coppola directed, produced and wrote, was released that same year, winning the Palme d' Or at the Cannes Film Festival. His next film," Apocalypse Now"( 1979), which notoriously had a lengthy and strenuous production, was widely acclaimed for its vivid depiction of the Vietnam War. The film won the Palme d' Or, making Coppola one of only eight filmmakers to have won that award twice. While a number of Coppola's ventures in the 1980s and 1990s were critically lauded, he has never quite achieved the same commercial success with films as in the 1970s. His best- known films released since the start of the 1980s are the dramas" The Outsiders" and" Rumble Fish"( both 1983), the crime dramas" The Cotton Club"( 1984) and" The Godfather Part III"( 1990), and the horror film" Bram Stoker's Dracula"( 1992).
