About this Event
Claustrophobic families, religion and sugar daddies - what could go wrong? We're proud to kick-off Pride Month with a special screening of Shiva Baby (2020), the acclaimed debut from Emma Seligman, which Sight & Sound called an "exhilarating and compassionate film about love, death, loneliness – and the life-affirming importance of dessert".
Come and celebrate an independent film, screened by a women-led film community (@badgalfilmclub) in Manchester - with free goodie bags for everyone! 🍿
About the film
College student Danielle is faced with a series of awkward encounters at a day-long shiva, a Jewish gathering during a time of mourning. Amongst overbearing relatives, she is rattled by the appearance of an ex-girlfriend and of her secret sugar daddy, who unexpectedly arrives with his wife and baby.
Notes about this screening
Open to all (15+).
