Interesting facts
Maison du Bonheur is a 2017 Canadian documentary film directed by Sofia Bohdanowicz. It profiles Juliane Sellam, a 77-year-old French astrologer living in Montmartre.
Production
In July 2015, Bohdanowicz embarked to Paris to shoot the film at the behest of Sellam's daughter. For production costs, she sought out a $10,000 line of credit to purchase film stock and rented a 16mm Bolex camera. She shot the film over the course of one month and recorded the sound herself. After filming was complete, she applied to grants for post-production funds.
