Shiva Baby Screens All Weekend With a Pre-Recorded Q&A w/ Rachel Sennott!

Have this article read to you, listen to it like a podcast

To coincide with her newest film, Bottoms, Emma Seligman’s 2020 feature debut, Shiva Baby returns to the Frida with a pre-recorded Q&A with Seligman!

College student Danielle (Rachel Sennott) must cover her tracks when she unexpectedly runs into her sugar daddy at a shiva. Doesn’t particularly help that her parents, ex-girlfriend and family friends are also in attendance.

Adapted from Seligman’s own 2018 short film of the same name, Shiva Baby is an outstanding example of contemporary cringe comedy.

Shiva Baby screens starting Friday, August 4th.
Friday, Aug 4 – 6pm, 8:15pm
Saturday, Aug 5 – 6pm, 8:15pm
Sunday, Aug 6 – 3:30pm, 6pm
