Question: Do both films Distant Vision and Goldstein (Film) have the directors from the same country?

He has been described as a" maverick" and an" iconoclast," notable for his versatility and independence. He is considered an" auteur", whose films have always expressed his personal vision. Philip Kaufman( born October 23, 1936) is an American film director and screenwriter who has directed fifteen films over a career spanning more than six decades. Kaufman's works have included genres such as realism, horror, fantasy, erotica, Westerns, underworld crime, and inner city gangs. His choice of topics has been eclectic and sometimes controversial, having adapted novels with diverse themes and stories. Examples are Milan Kundera's" The Unbearable Lightness of Being"( 1988), Michael Crichton's" Rising Sun"( 1993), a remake of" Invasion of the Body Snatchers"( 1978), and the erotic writings of Anaïs Nin's" Henry& June". His film" The Wanderers"( 1979) has achieved cult status. But his greatest success was Tom Wolfe's true- life" The Right Stuff", which received eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. According to film historian Annette Insdorf," no other living American director has so consistently and successfully made movies for adults, tackling sensuality, artistic creation, and manipulation by authorities." Other critics note that Kaufman's films are" strong on mood and atmosphere," with powerful cinematography and a" lyrical, poetic style" to portray different historic periods. His later films have a somewhat European style, but the stories always" stress individualism and integrity, and are clearly American." <SEP> Different versions of this production have been broadcast to limited audiences from the stages of Oklahoma City Community College on June 5, 2015, and at UCLA School of Theater in July 2016. 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> Charles K. Gifford is an American banker and businessman. He is the chairman emeritus of Bank of America having served on its board of directors from 2004 to 2016. <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). " 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. Francis Ford Coppola( born April 7, 1939) is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, film composer, and vintner. 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). A number of Coppola's relatives and children have become famous actors and filmmakers in their own right: his sister is the actress Talia Shire; his daughter Sofia Coppola and granddaughter Gia Coppola are directors, and the actors Jason Schwartzman and Nicolas Cage are his nephews. <SEP> Goldstein is a 1965 film co-directed by Philip Kaufman and Benjamin Manaster, and produced by Kaufman and Zev Braun.

Oshoni Shongket) is a 1973 Bengali film by the renowned Indian director Satyajit Ray, based on the novel by the same name by Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay.
