Production on “Josephine Baker” has kicked off in France and will run through Nov. 13, with additional shooting in Sofia, Bulgaria.
The film is directed and co-written by Maïmouna Doucouré, the César- and Sundance-winning filmmaker behind “Cuties” and “Hawa,” working from a script developed with co-writer Olivier Lorelle. Studiocanal and Bien ou Bien Productions are producing, with CPB Films and Leyland Films serving as associated producers. The project carries the official blessing of Baker’s sons Jean-Claude Bouillon Baker and Brian Bouillon Baker, along with the Rainbow tribe.
