Sofia Coppola has directed her first-ever documentary, with longtime friend and collaborator Marc Jacobs at the centre. “Marc by Sofia” will premiere later this summer at the Venice Film Festival in an out-of-competition slot.

Coppola has starred in numerous campaigns for Jacobs including his final for Louis Vuitton, and directed his Daisy fragrance ads. With the announcement, it’s Jacobs’ turn to play muse for the “Priscilla” and “Marie Antoinette” director.

The Venice Film Festival takes place Aug. 27 to Sept. 9.
