Almost two weeks after hosting a spirited launch dinner with Chanel to celebrate her second book, “Chanel Haute Couture,” Sofia Coppola is getting ready for her next New York fete with the fashion house.

The director has been announced as the honoree for this year’s MoMA Film Benefit presented by Chanel. The benefit, set for Nov. 12, will include a pre-dinner presentation of Coppola’s work and remarks from high-profile friends and collaborators. MoMA will also screen all nine of Coppola’s feature films, and her 1998 short “Lick the Star,” as part of its “Sofia Coppola: A Tribute” 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.

“Sofia Coppola has been a part of the museum’s artist family since her emergence as an acclaimed director over 25 years ago,” said Rajendra Roy, MoMA’s Celeste Bartos chief curator of film, in an announcement about the event. “We celebrated her in 2004 as a part of our ‘Work in Progress’ series, and we are thrilled to welcome her back now as a field-leading icon.”

Coppola 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’s lead sponsor of film since 2021.

Coppola recently premiered “Marc by Sofia,” her A24 documentary about close friend Marc Jacobs, at the Venice Film Festival. The 97-minute film, the director’s first nonfiction feature, retraces Jacobs’ 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 “Marc by Sofia” hasn’t yet been announced.
