Francis Ford Coppola to Receive AFI's 50th Life Achievement Award

The acclaimed filmmaker will be honored at a gala in Los Angeles for his influential contributions to American cinema.

Francis Ford Coppola, known for iconic films like 'The Godfather' and 'Apocalypse Now,' will receive the prestigious AFI Life Achievement Award.
The award ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on April 26, 2025.
Coppola's recent film, 'Megalopolis,' premiered at the Cannes Film Festival but received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office.
Despite the challenges with 'Megalopolis,' Coppola remains focused on his artistic vision, planning his next project based on Edith Wharton's 'Glimpses of the Moon.'
The AFI Life Achievement Award has previously been awarded to notable figures such as Nicole Kidman, Denzel Washington, and Julie Andrews.
