Danijela Štajnfeld (; born 6 May 1984) is a Serbian award-winning actress and filmmaker of Jewish and Rusyn origin.[1] She rose to fame in Serbia with the 2005 film Ivko’s Feast.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Štajnfeld is a two-time recipient of the Best Actress Award.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]

Štajnfeld expanded her career when she later moved to the U.S. She started working as a director with her debut film Hold Me Right, a documentary that focuses on sexual assault and its impact on survivors.[15] [16] [17] Hold Me Right premiered at the Sarajevo Film Festival on August 18, 2020, and gained much acclaim for its sense of empowerment.[18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23]

Originally, Štajnfeld did not intend to share her story, but only to give other people a platform to speak.[24] [25] Her story was included in the film after the rough cut was finished. Hold Me Right is a reflection of Štajnfeld’s journey of being a victim of sexual assault and the aftermath of it. In this film, she has not only highlighted her struggle but also included first-hand testimonies of other sexual assault survivors, but also the perpetrators, and the ripple effect of the tragedy enhanced by the culture of silence and indifference to the aftermath of trauma.[26] [27] [28] On 22 March 2021, it was revealed that Štajnfeld accused Branislav Lečić, an actor and former Minister of Culture of Serbia, as her rapist.[29]

Štajnfeld has also done stand-up in various comedy clubs in NYC.[30] [31] [32]

Štajnfeld lives and works in New York City.
