Coppola: Bulgarian Films Hard to Succeed

Society | November 12, 2005, Saturday // 00:00

Bulgaria has good traditions in filmmaking, but it would be hard to make an international breakthrough, legend Francis Ford Coppola said Saturday.

The filmmaking ace is in seaside Balchik to shoot scenes for his latest project, Youth Without Youth.

But movies were not the only issue Coppola discussed with reporters.

The creator of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now vowed support to the Bulgarian nurses jailed in Libya, and said he did not believe that could have committed the terrible crime they were convicted with.

Coppola even held up a t-shirt with a print calling for freedom for the nurses.
