Project
The Plankton Chronicles Project is a short documentary series combining art and science, revealing the beauty and diversity of organisms adrift in the currents.
The “Plankton Chronicles” project was created in the context of the Tara Oceans Expedition and the Institut de la Mer de Villefranche sur Mer (IMEV). Christian Sardet, Emeritus Research Director with the CNRS at Villefranche-sur-Mer conceived the first episodes of the series with Véronique Kleiner and Catherine Balladur from CNRS Images (Meudon). All others were produced by Christian Sardet from IMEV / CNRS Côte-d’Azur with Noe Sardet and Sharif Mirshak (Parafilms, Montreal).
