This week my guest is the wonderful Eve Gabereau. Eve is someone whose work and ingenuity I became aware of quite early on in my own career and she is someone I have wanted on the podcast for a good while. Eve is the Founder and Managing Director of Modern Films, a London-based, female-led, social issues-driven production, distribution and event cinema company. It was founded in 2017 and since gone onto to release buzzy titles such as BORDER, MURINA, HAPPY AS LAZZARO, WHITE RIOT, WHEEL OF FORTUNE AND FANTASY and Oscar-winner DRIVE MY CAR. Two of their upcoming releases were part of this year's LFF programme - Emily Atef's MORE THAN EVER and Kristoffer Borgli's SICK OF MYSELF, which both speak well to the kind of provocative, spellbinding and whip-smart cinema that Modern Films have made their trademark. Prior to that Eve was the MD of Soda Pictures for 15 years, where she released such indie hits as TONI ERDMANN, ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE, PATERSON and MY LIFE AS A COURGETTE. She also executive produced Rungano Nyoni's directorial debut I AM NOT A WITCH. She is a regular feature on panels and training schemes throughout the industry, and was also featured in Geoffrey Macnab's 2021 book ‘The British Film Industry in 25 Careers: The Mavericks, Visionaries and Outsiders Who Shaped British Cinema', so it's fair to say I approached this interview with high expectations for the wisdom and insight it might contain and Eve definitely didn't disappoint and it's truly a privilege to count her among Best Girl Grip's guests.
