Marta Balaga Bowing in Canneseries official selection, six-episode miniseries “Infiniti” isn’t just for sci-fi aficionados, Empreinte Digitale producer Eric Laroche told Variety.Co-produced between France and Belgium, the latest Canal Plus offering – created by Stéphane Pannetier and Julien Vanlerenberghe – interweaves multiple storylines, moving from the International Space Station (ISS) that suddenly goes silent to an investigation in Kazakhstan, where a beheaded, wax-covered body is found by a local cop.Discouraged by his superiors, Isaak (Daniyar Alshinov) decides to solve the mystery, while French astronaut Anna Zarathi (Céline Sallette) pursues her dream of space travel.“Having more than one genre, especially in a TV series, is very interesting.
But one of them still needs to form the skeleton of the show. In our case, it’s the murder mystery,” says Laroche. “I am not a big traveler, but I live for cinema and for series.
The first time I went to New York, I went: ‘Oh my God, I am in a movie.’ When I went to Japan, I kept saying ‘I’m in a Miyazaki film, in a Koreeda film.’ When I went to Kazakhstan, I said: ‘I don’t know where I am.’ I have never been on a journey like that.”While Paris-based Empreinte Digitale continues to blend genres with Disney Plus fantasy “Parallels” and upcoming Netflix show “The 7 Lives of Lea,” which will include time travel and body swapping, it has already nabbed the Critics Jury Award at MipDrama in 2017 for sci-fi series “Missions.”“There is a connection, especially in terms of production.
We already know how to create something with many visual effects. We learnt it with ‘Missions’ and we confirmed it with ‘Infiniti’,” says Laroche.
