July is proving itself to be quite the month of bustling events, screenings, musical performances and comedy shows. We're happy to help you navigate. Our faithful intern Freddie is back with three more free events that will impress even the thriftiest of New Yorkers.

Venus & Serena
The Maysles Cinema at 7:30 PM
Ticket: $10
Venus and Serena Williams are, without a doubt, two of the most influential female athletes in recent history. The controversial pair have inspired awe and admiration in light of their physical gifts, but their strong personalities have invited criticism and even hatred. Certainly they have has their share of hardships. This doc follows the sisters over the course of 2011, when both women faced health issues and emotional challenges. Ultimately, they find their strength in one another and prove that nothing can hold them back for long.

Reds
Museum of the Moving Image at 2:00PM
Ticket: FREE with price of museum admission
Clocking in at a little over 3 hours, Warren Beatty's Oscar-winning Reds is being shown on the big screen in 35 mm. Based on a true story, the film has Beatty playing an American journalist, John Reed, caught up in the Russian Revolution. Reds is one of the last major epics made in the classic Hollywood mold and represents melodrama at its finest. Diane Keaton also stars as journalist Louise Bryant in one of her most accomplished performances. Don't miss this rare opportunity.
MP3 Experiment Ten
Location TBD near South Street Seaport at 3:00 PM or 7:00PM
Ticket: FREE
Blending technology and improv, the Mp3 Experiment is a participatory public event created by Improv Everywhere. People who want to get in on the action must download an original mp3 file, sync their mobile phone clocks with an atomic clock, gather in a public place with their headphones, and act out the instructions of the mysterious Steve in public as passersby look on in shock. Hilarity will naturally ensue.
Waaaarrrrrriiiorsss, come out and pla-a-ay
Freddie's Free Pick Three NYC Come Out & Play 2013
Friday, July 12 & Saturday, July 13
Various times & places around the city
This thing is just awesome. Do you miss the absurdity of field day, college, camp, or whatever point in your life that any random activity could be turned into sport and taken way too seriously? This festival consists of three events: After Dark (South Street Seaport, 19 Fulton Street, July 12 from 7 PM to the wee hours), Field Day (Governors Island, Parade Ground Field, July 13 from 11 AM to 5 PM), and Family Day (Governors Island, July 13 from 11 AM to 4 PM). I could try to list the various games, but there are around thirty and few of them even resemble an established sport. If the weather is nice, scrap the gym, put on a headband, and live a little.

Friday, July 12
Ottos Shrunken Head from 10PM-4AM
A bunch of cool, crazy artists that most of us have never heard of come together to perform at Otto's (538 E. 14th Street, New York). Live bands and various DJ's will play new and clas
