\n\tAlmost two weeks after hosting a spirited launch dinner with\u00a0Chanel\u00a0to celebrate her second book, \u201cChanel Haute Couture,\u201d Sofia Coppola is getting ready for her next New York fete with the fashion house.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe director has been announced as the honoree for this year\u2019s MoMA Film Benefit presented by Chanel. The benefit, set for Nov. 12, will include a pre-dinner presentation of Coppola\u2019s work and remarks from high-profile friends and collaborators. MoMA will also screen all nine of Coppola\u2019s feature films, and her 1998 short \u201cLick the Star,\u201d as part of its \u201cSofia Coppola: A Tribute\u201d presentation from Oct. 30 through Nov. 16. Fair to say: the director has come a long way since interning with Chanel in the summer of 1986.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cSofia Coppola has been a part of the museum\u2019s artist family since her emergence as an acclaimed director over 25 years ago,\u201d said Rajendra Roy, MoMA\u2019s Celeste Bartos chief curator of film, in an announcement about the event. \u201cWe celebrated her in 2004 as a part of our \u2018Work in Progress\u2019 series, and we are thrilled to welcome her back now as a field-leading icon.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tCoppola joins a prestigious list of past MoMA Film Benefit honorees, including Samuel L. Jackson in 2024, Penelope Cruz, Martin Scorsese, George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Kathryn Bigelow, Tim Burton and more. Chanel has sponsored the film benefit since 2011, and has been the museum\u2019s lead sponsor of film since 2021.<\/p>\n
\n\tCoppola recently premiered \u201cMarc by Sofia,\u201d her A24 documentary about close friend Marc Jacobs, at the Venice Film Festival. The 97-minute film, the director\u2019s first nonfiction feature, retraces Jacobs\u2019 work and the long-standing friendship between the two, with archival footage including the 1994 guerrilla-style sidewalk fashion show Coppola and Spike Jonze staged in New York outside the Marc Jacobs show venue for the brand X-girl. A wide release date for \u201cMarc by Sofia\u201d hasn\u2019t yet been announced.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
