Gwendolyn Audrey Foster is an experimental filmmaker, artist and author. She wrote a lot of books, including this one, also, she created a lot of movies and documentaries and now teaches courses specializing in film.

Francis Ford Coppola was director. Him well known movies The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather: Part II (1974),The Godfather: Part III (1990) and the Vietnam War epic Apocalypse Now (1979).

Woody Allen began his career as a filmmaker, after a long stint as a stand up comedian and writer, with the clever satire What’s Up, Tiger Lily? (1966). In this movie Allen took an existing Japanese secret agent film and remake it into a wild parody. In all films, Allen functioned not only as director and writer (and often producer), but also the star, handcrafting vehicles that showcased his peculiar talents as a hapless man, unlucky in love, always clumsy and complaining. Allen’s work deepened much more with the romantic comedy/drama Annie Hall (1977). Allen’s most commercially and critically acclaimed movie Manhattan (1979) was a bittersweet romance set against the backdrop of New York City.
