Armelle Pain

Armelle Pain grew up in the Vendée Bocage where, against all odds and thanks to a few smugglers, she discovered a sensitivity for contemporary artistic creation and more particularly for author cinema.

She also had the opportunity to rub shoulders with publishing (coordination of works devoted to the heritage of Vienne and Mayenne), the processing of information and the drafting of articles, summary notes and publications. studies (English Nature, INA Mediterranean, Institute of Tropical Medicine, PACA Deposits and Consignments Fund, etc.).
