  • American Zoetrope is a studio founded by Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas. Founded in 1969, American Zoetrope was an early adopter of digital filmmaking, including some of the earliest uses of HDTV. The studio has produced not only the films of Coppola but also George Lucas's pre-Star Wars films, THX 1138 and American Graffiti, as well as many others by such cutting-edge directors as Jean-Luc Godard, Akira Kurosawa, Wim Wenders, and Godfrey Reggio. American Zoetrope's last release was the 2007 film Youth Without Youth, starring Tim Roth, and written, produced and directed by Coppola, marking his return to personal filmmaking. Coppola's next project, Tetro, began filming early 2008. Four films produced by American Zoetrope are included in the American Film Institute's Top 100 Films. American Zoetrope-produced films have received 15 Academy Awards and 68 nominations. Lost in Translation (2002), written and directed by Sofia Coppola, won 2003's Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Coppola named the studio after a zoetrope he was given in the late 1960s by the filmmaker and collector of early film devices, Mogens Skot-Hansen. The company was also known as Zoetrope Studios from 1979 until 1990. "Zoetrope" is also the name by which Coppola's quarterly fiction magazine, Zoetrope All-Story, is often known. The company's headquarters is in the historic Sentinel Building in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood. In the building lobby Coppola operates a popular small Italian café featuring Rubicon Estate wine and memorabilia from his films. The neighborhood is well-known for its cafes and its writers. Coppola wrote much of the screenplay for The Godfather in the nearby Caffe Trieste, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti's City Lights Books is located across the street from the Sentinel Building. American Zoetrope is now owned entirely by Coppola's son and daughter, directors Roman Coppola and Sofia Coppola.

  • American Zoetrope is de naam van het productiebedrijf van Francis Ford Coppola en George Lucas. Een zoetrope (zoötroop in het Nederlands) is een apparaat dat men in de beginjaren van de film gebruikte om beelden te laten bewegen. Regisseur Mogens Skot-Hansen gaf in de jaren '60 een hele collectie zoetropes aan Coppola, die vervolgens zijn productiebedrijf dezelfde naam meegaf. In 1969 was het productiebedrijf terug te vinden in San Francisco en tussen 1980 en 1983 in Hollywood. American Zoetrope steunde niet alleen de films van Coppola, maar ook de films van George Lucas, die hij voor zijn Star Wars-periode maakte. In 2002 was American Zoetrope het productiehuis achter de film Lost in Translation, die geregisseerd werd door Sofia Coppola, de dochter van Francis Ford Coppola. De film won een Academy Award voor beste screenplay.
