Our friends at the Lower East Side Film Festival are kicking off their summer Movies in the Park series with a screening of MISTRESS AMERICA at 8:30pm on Thursday, August 14, in Tompkins Square Park (Bandshell).
The screening celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the film’s release. They write: “Directed by Noah Baumbach and co-written by Greta Gerwig, this sharply funny coming-of-age film follows a college freshman (Lola Kirke) and her chaotic future stepsister (Greta Gerwig) through a whirlwind of ambition and misadventure across New York City.”
The event is co-hosted with Assembly Member Harvey Epstein and presented by Searchlight Pictures. Additional goodies include:
Free shaved ice from Rosa Reta
Tasty bites from Wonder
(psst – code FIRSTROUND gives $15 off of Wonder meals!)
Iced cold Topo Chico
Chill zones from Sofaclub + Flamer
Two additional screenings on the calendar are SUMMER OF SOUL, the Academy Award-winning documentary directed by Questlove, on August 27th at 8:30pm, with live music ahead of the screening, and BIRDMAN on Sept. 17th at 7:30pm, with live jazz and an Emma Stone Look-Alike Contest.
