CANNES, France (AP) — Sofia Coppola was just 8 years old when she first came to the Cannes Film Festival. Her father, Francis Ford Coppola, was there to premiere a work-in-progress cut of a film he had spent years wrestling with: “Apocalypse Now.”

“I have nice memories of Cannes,” Coppola said in an interview Thursday on the roof of the Palais, the festival center. “I remember coming here as a kid and then my first movie, ‘Virgin Suicides,’ had our first screening ever here. I feel like my career started here.”
