As digital movie-making, like live sports, can now be performed by one director or by a collaborative team working across the Internet, it is only a matter of time before \"cinema auteurs\" will create \"live\" films of the highest creative quality that will be sent instantly via satellite to be viewed in faraway theatres.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Whether recounting his own boyhood obsession with film, tracing the origins of \"live cinema\" through a history of early film and live 1950s television shows, or presenting state-of-the-art techniques on everything from rehearsals to equipment, Coppola demonstrates that the spontaneity of this genre of \"live cinema\" will transport movie-making into a new era of creativity previously unimaginable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e‘In this surprising new book - part memoir, part diary, part guide - Francis Ford Coppola reenergises himself and the reader with his search for a new way of storytelling. \u003ci\u003eLive\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eCinema and Its Techniques\u003c\/i\u003e blends elements of Coppola's autobiography, his encyclopaedic knowledge of film and television, and his creative process toward a new language of cinema.’ \u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Friedkin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e‘This is a gold mine of a book, intensely personal, and a rocket ride to the potential future of cinema\/theatre\/television.
