'Mistress America' screens tonight in Tompkins Square Park

Giving the screening of 2015's "Mistress America" another go tonight in Tompkins Square Park after a July 31 rainout. 

As previously noted, 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." 

Lola Kirke, a local resident and co-star of "Mistress America," will introduce the film, directed by Noah Baumbach from a script he wrote with lead Greta Gerwig.

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.
