In Biot, the filming of the series “Perfect Crimes” continues with a strict sanitary protocol

On the Côte d’Azur, the cinema is doing well despite the Covid-19 crisis. In Biot, we are shooting a new episode of the detective series Perfect crimes, which is a great success on France 3. The plot: the heiress of the great glassworks of the city has just been poisoned under mysterious circumstances … Meeting with actors happy to work and inhabitants who savor this moment animation.

We could almost forget the health situation and yet a strict protocol is in force: mask for everyone, even for the actors, except during the takes. “A shoot is a bit of a microcosm (…) so we don’t really feel all the restrictions that are due to confinement or Covid. The only thing that changes is that we have a PCR test once a week ”, relates the actress Lola Dewaere. Another change due to the Covid: delays in filming when there are positive cases.

Filming conditions which are rather well accepted by the director Christophe Douchand: “It’s part of this new era, you have to adapt”. The team considers themselves lucky to be able to work at this time. Last year, filming came to a screeching halt for three months. In the fields of fiction, cinema but also advertising, the number of days of activity has decreased by almost 20% in one year in the Paca region.
