Biography

Born 18 November 1943,[1] Michel Marmin was a member of the non-religious scouting association Éclaireurs de France in the 1950s.[2] He attended the Institut des hautes études cinématographiques.[3]

In 1971, Marmin was recruited by media entrepreneur Raymond Bourgine and began to work as a cinema critic for Valeurs Actuelles (1972–1978).[4] Upon the public launch of GRECE magazine Éléments in September 1973, Marmin became its first president, followed by Pierre Vial in 1983.[5][6] He also served as the deputy secretary general of GRECE, in charge of press relations.[7]

In September 1976, he co-founded the publishing house Copernic.[7] Marmin then worked for Le Figaro between 1978 and 1980, and as the redactor-in-chief of the encyclopedia branch of Éditions Atlas.[4] Between 1991 and 1992, he served as the president of GRECE.[8]

He is the co-scenarist of the films Pierre and Djemila (1987) and Ainsi soit-il (2000), which led to controversies in the media due to his far-right involvement.[9][10]

In 2012–2013, Marmin was among the sponsors of TV Libertés, a far-right web TV.[11]
