Vue has hired Eve Gabereau, the founder and former CEO of Modern Films, to run its newly established distribution arm, Vue Lumière. 
“I’m delighted to be joining Vue and to be part of launching Vue Lumière at such an exciting time for both Vue and the industry,” Gabereau said of her appointment. “I am looking forward to bringing more stories to audiences across the UK and Europe.”
Gabereau joined the company on January 6 and reports to Turton, Group Chief Commercial Officer, Vue.
Gabereau founded and led Modern Films, a London-based distribution, production, and digital exhibition company. Established in 2017 with the release of Manifesto starring Cate Blanchett, Modern Films pics include Oscar-winning Drive My Car and this year’s awards contenders: Vermiglio (Venice Silver Lion winner) and the stop-motion animation Memoir of a Snail. Before this, Gabereau co-founded Soda Pictures/ Thunderbird Releasing, an independent distribution company for UK and Ireland releases and titles in North America.
“We are thrilled Eve is joining us to oversee Vue Lumière,” Gabereau said. “We have seen the demand from our customers for great local and international titles, and this appointment underlines our commitment to bringing more films to our screens and beyond, bolstering our core business of combining the best in big screen content with the best seats, sound, and screens.”
