A New View Film Series: Shiva Baby
January 31, 2024 @ 7:00pm
The film Shiva Baby explores Jewish and bisexual identity and representation as a young, bisexual Jewish woman attends a shiva (Jewish mourning gathering) with her parents. “In Emma Seligman’s delightfully anxiety-driven comedy ‘Shiva Baby,’ the post-funeral service rites of a Jewish family and friends are interrupted by a chaotic series of oneupmanship and unexpected guests. Based on Seligman’s short of the same name, Shiva Baby follows Danielle (Rachel Sennott) on her way to meet her family for the somber occasion after an appointment with her sugar daddy. However, her stress is just beginning. Danielle runs headfirst into a slew of questions about her prospects, both professional and personal, from family, friends and relatives.” (Roger Ebert)
A New View Film Series will journey outside everyday life to explore new world views through the screening of four films and seeks to promote appreciation and foster respect for differences through the lenses of interfaith understanding and appreciation for diversity, social justice, and belonging.
Each screening will be followed by a discussion with the audience
This performance is free and open to the public, no ticket is required.
