Damiani takes over from Sabine Chemaly, who has been head of film sales at TF1 Studio, and then Newen Connect, since 2012.
Newen Connect was created in 2020 in the wake of TF1’s acquisition of French production giant Newen Studios, out of the fusion of their distribution divisions Newen Distribution, TF1 Studio and Reel One International.

In her new role, Damiani will take on responsibility for identifying and championing new cinema projects from TF1 Studio and companies within the Newen Studios Group as well as third parties.
She will also oversee the international distribution and sales of Newen Connect’s current and future slate of films and look after the back catalogue of 1,000 titles, which include classics such as Berlinale Retrospective title Muriel’s Wedding, The Piano and La Vie En Rose.
Damiani has spent most of her career in distribution.
She was previously VP International Cinema Sales at TF1 Studio having joined the company in 2017. Prior to that, Damiani was previously International Sales Manager at France Télévisions Distribution and Doc & Film International and spent the early part of her career working with Pyramide Distribution.
