The intersection between fashion and film is one of the RUSSH team’s favourite places to dwell. So, when we heard that two icons of both worlds were stepping behind the camera, our excitement was palpable. Yes, Sofia Coppola has directed her first-ever documentary – and naturally, it’s about Marc Jacobs.
Titled Marc by Sofia (a nod to the designer's beloved Marc by Marc Jacobs line), the film premiered out of competition at the Venice Film Festival in 2025. But for fashion faithfuls who weren't lucky enough to attend (a girl can dream...) it's felt like an age waiting for a glimpse at the project. Now, that's set to change, with the film officially screening. Read on for all the important details.

When and where to watch Marc by Sofia
The film was released in US theatres on March 27, 2026.
Australians have had to wait a little longer, but Marc by Sofia is included on the Sydney Film Festival program, with three official screenings: June 6, 11, and 13. Tickets to the June 13 session are still available online.
We also have our fingers and toes crossed that the film will have a limited run at select independent theatres across the country, outside of SFF.
There's also no streaming service attached to the documentary, but we'll keep you updated when that happens.

What is the documentary about?
Creatively, Coppola and Jacobs’ rapport spans decades. She’s long been a muse to the designer, not only starring in campaigns herself, but also shaping visuals for things like the iconic Daisy perfume film campaigns, and collaborating on collections at both Louis Vuitton and, more recently, Heaven by Marc Jacobs. In other words, if anyone is equipped to tell Jacobs' story with nuance, it's Coppola.
It’s already been a prolific few years for Coppola. In 2025, she celebrated 25 years since The Virgin Suicides with a book of behind-the-scenes photographs, the debut release from her publishing imprint, Important Flowers. She also collaborated with Chanel on documenting the House's haute couture legacy, with a new book and podcast released in tandem with the Fall 2025 couture show. Jacobs, meanwhile, continues to defy the rules of fashion longevity, surprising and delighting us with new theatrical, subversive designs each season.
