SCREENINGS AND TICKETS
An intimate, unconventional portrait of Marc Jacobs, crafted by Sofia Coppola to capture the genius and singular universe of the iconic American designer.
Marc Jacobs met Sofia Coppola in New York City in the early 1990s. The young designer, on the cusp of global fame, had debuted “Grunge,” his final collection as creative director for Perry Ellis, in 1992, before re-launching his namesake label with Robert Duffy the following year.
Marc by Sofia marks the first documentary feature by Coppola, and while it captures Jacobs at work, in his element, designing his Spring 2024 ready-to-wear collection, while reflecting on the people and pop culture that shaped him, from The Supremes to The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant, it’s also quintessentially Coppola in its collage-like approach to showcasing her friend’s deep, abiding — and shared — reverence for fashion, contem- porary art, and youth culture.
A portrait of two kindred spirits working at the top of their game, supporting each other creatively through the years and drawing closer through their mutual passions, Marc by Sofia is a charming and loving tribute to what it means to stay up all night talking on the phone about Fassbinder, Fosse, and Fiorucci with that one special person in your life who just gets it.
The film screenings will be introduced by the editor-in-chief of SÄDE magazine Kristi Pärn-Valdoja.
