Shiva Baby

0 upcoming performances in New York

Emma Seligman’s 2020 comedy follows Danielle, a young bisexual Jewish woman cornered by family expectations during a shiva where private relationships spill into public view. The film maps a tight social ecosystem—parents, exes, an older patron, and a newborn—using the rituals of mourning to expose how performance and shame circulate in small rooms. It premiered at New York’s 2020 NewFest, situating it within the city’s queer and Jewish festival circuits. At City Winery NYC in the Meatpacking District, a brunch screening is paired with a Q&A with co-star Danny Deferrari.
