Issermann, Aline

(November l6, l948, Paris, France-)

   She worked as a pump attendant, saleswoman, driver, agricultural worker, and stable girl before drifting into journalism for one year and contributed to the crea­tion of the daily newspaper Libération (l972-l973). Then she dropped out of her job and worked on a farm again. Back in Paris, she earned a living as a comic book drawer and a children's book illustrator (l977-l979) and began directing shorts with many difficulties. Her first feature film was critically praised. In 1973, she played in a short (La Soeur du Cadre, Jean-Claude Biette). She wrote the screenplay of L'Invitée (an episode from the TV series La Kiné, André Chan­delle, 200l).
