"Coppola's presence in Athens illuminates our city. We award him this medal in recognition of his long contribution to art. Coppola chose a path off Hollywood's limits. He is a critic of the American Dream. He described it and he exposed its dark side, its sweet and sour taste," Kaklamanis stressed in his address.

Responding at a press conference at Athens City Hall, Coppola said: "I never dreamed of becoming rich and famous. Since I was young I wasn't interested in the Hollywood industry machine that produces films with the aim of making money. I was always interested in the kind of cinema that moves people without a strictly commercial purpose."

The American director, who has won five Oscars and various other awards for films such as "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now", is a special guest at the film festival, which ends Sunday evening, when he will present his latest movie "Tetro".

It has a few autobiographical clues, he said.

"A few years ago, I decided that I want to proceed my career filming more personal movies, based on my own stories. At my age, it's a great pleasure to learn new things. We learn most things through family. So, I wrote a script based on my memories from my family," Coppola said. He wrote the script of Tetro 30 years ago.
