[Updated] These are the movies screening in Tompkins Square Park this summer

The Lower East Side Film Festival is bringing its free summer screening series back to Tompkins Square Park.

Here's what is on the docket: 

• Aug. 14 — "Mistress America" 

• Aug. 27 — "Summer of Soul" 

• Sept. 19 — "Birdman" 

Each screening (roughly at 8:30 p.m.) begins with a short film by a LESFF alum, followed by the feature presentation. The screenings take place in the center of the park where the bands usually perform on weekends.

The invite promises "complimentary refreshments and surprises throughout the night." 

NOTE: The screening of "Mistress America" scheduled for tomorrow night has been moved to Aug. 14 due to the expected rain in NYC.

The series is in partnership with presenting sponsor Searchlight Pictures and local Assemblymember Harvey Epstein ...with community support from East Village Community Coalition, Good Old Lower East Side (GOLES), and Loisaida Inc. Center.

    Birdman is possibly the greatest New York movie of all time.
