Sofia Coppola, Chloe Sevigny shine spotlight on women at Provincetown Film Festival

Sevigny was honored at the Provincetown International Film Festival on Friday with the Excellence in Acting Award. Her most recent role is in the Trump-era film “Beatriz at Dinner,” starring Salma Hayek and John Lithgow.

Director Sofia Coppola was named this year’s Filmmaker on the Edge. Her most recent film, in theaters June 23, is a retelling of “The Beguiled,” based off the book by Thomas Cullinan. With this film, she won the best director award at Cannes Film Festival this year, making her only the second woman to do so in the festival’s 70-year history.
