 | Sofia Coppola |
Award-winning writer and director Sofia Coppola will give the first Chubb Fellowship Lecture of the academic year on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
Coppola will speak at 4:30 p.m. in the Levinson Auditorium, Sterling Law Buildings, 127 Wall St. A screening of her film "Lost in Translation" will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17, in the Whitney Humanities Center, 53 Wall St. Both the talk and the screening of the film are free, and the public is welcome to attend.
Coppola's first feature film, "The Virgin Suicides," debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000 and earned a Young Hollywood Award for Best Director, as well as an MTV Movie Award for Best New Filmmaker.
In 2004 Coppola won a Golden Globe Award and the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for "Lost In Translation," a film she both wrote and directed. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director for that movie -- the first American woman to be so honored.
Rolling Stone magazine describes Sofia Coppola as the "hottest director around," with the "ardent assurance of a born filmmaker."
The Chubb Fellowship is devoted to encouraging and aiding Yale students interested in the operations of government, culture and public service. Established in 1936 through the generosity of Hendon Chubb (Yale 1895), the program is based in Timothy Dwight College. Each year, three or four distinguished women and men have been appointed as visiting Chubb Fellows. While at Yale, they have close, informal contact with students and deliver a public lecture. Former Chubb Fellows include Presidents Ronald Reagan, Raul Alfonsin and Jimmy Carter; and Prime Ministers Clement Atlee and Mario Soares.
