An Artist Talk about the making of ADVENTURES IN MISCARRIAGE, a feature-length documentary currently in production. Director Cheryl Furjanic (NYU) and Producer Stephanie Schiavenato will share insights about their creative process, collaboration, care, curiosity, and funding (or lack thereof) that have arisen during the making of this independent film.
Moderated by Faye Ginsburg (NYU)
Emmy-nominated filmmaker Cheryl Furjanic pulls back the curtain on reproductive injustice in post-Roe America by exploring the world’s most common pregnancy complication: miscarriage. Calling on the powers of dark comedy, absurdist performance, and queer camp, Furjanic realizes she’s on an adventure she didn’t anticipate. Unfolding in real-time, the making of ADVENTURES IN MISCARRIAGE begins to unlock the filmmaker’s trauma and healing from her own pregnancy loss.
ADVENTURES IN MISCARRIAGE is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
